Before the change we can only see only automatic analyze logs on first kind of 
tables.

After the change I can see automatic analyze logs on both kind of tables.

Here's the pg_stat_activity during the issue :
 datid | datname | procpid | usesysid | usename  |                              
current_query                              | waiting |          xact_start      
     |          query_start          |         backend_start         |  
client_addr  | client_port
