I think this is the crux of the issue.  Boosting the
default_statistics_target or the statistics target for specific
columns might help, reducing autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor might
help, but I can't help wondering whether you inserted a large number
of rows for user 10 and then ran the query to select user 10 before
autovacuum had time to complete.  Does that seem possible?
