I have seen something like that before, and described the incident in
https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/stale-statistics-cause-table-bloat/

What happened there was that during system startup, PostgreSQL was started
and created the statistics collector UDP socket on IPv6 localhost.

Later in the boot sequence, IPv6 was disabled, so no more statistics
could be collected.  Since it is an UDP socket, there were no errors.

Yours,
