What is your file system, NTFS or FAT32? Is that table newly created?

So there is a valid record in pg_class but the representing data file is
lost ... a possible theory of what's happened could be:

1) create the table;
2) a checkpoint happens;
3) lost power;
[ restar the machine and database ]
4) file system recovery - unable to recovery your data file;
5) database recovery - don't play WAL and recreate your data file because
of the checkpoint;

Is that possible?
