Just for a data point, this same problem happened to me on a 8.0
beta database. Actually, only one of 8 databases was affected for that
particular backend, but that one was toast and I had to rebuild it from
a backup. This was a pretty lightly used database, and certainly all
the SQL used was pretty standard (no mucking with pg_attribute directly,
as a google-searched thread of this problem insinuated).
