You panicked much too quickly and destroyed the evidence ... unless by
"cold backup" you mean a filesystem backup, in which case what you
should do is restore that and take a look at what's in its pg_database.
I think there's no question that there is some omission in your vacuuming
procedures, and you need to find out what it is.
