If thats the case, then there's another inconsistency as I can insert a
pg_class row manually without any problems:
demo=# INSERT INTO pg_class (relname, relnamespace, reltype, relowner,
relam, relfilenode, reltablespace, relpages, reltuples, reltoastrelid,
reltoastidxid, relhasindex, relisshared, relkind, relnatts, relchecks,
reltriggers, relukeys, relfkeys, relrefs, relhasoids, relhaspkey,
relhasrules, relhassubclass, relfrozenxid) VALUES ('x', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, FALSE, FALSE, 't', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE,
FALSE, '0');
INSERT 17943 1
