The inclusion of the relkind='s' made me think that something other than tables
were to be included as well. I don't see any problem with the original intention
of returning only tables. The view now is operating "almost" as designed. It does
return "pg_xactlock" which is a special relation. The relkind='s' should be removed
in order to conform with the intention.

Only if you suppose that pg_tables should show sequences, which was not
the intention. (I'm not real sure why 's' relations are listed, since
they're not really tables either, but the view is operating as
designed.)
I'm prepared to listen to an argument that pg_tables should show
sequences, but that's a definition change not a bug fix. Want to
bring it up on -general or -hackers?
