So now the question is: how did that inconsistency arise? It didn't

Merlin, could you re-run the test with a WAL archive (if you don't have one already), and then run pg_xlogdump, filtering it to show only the changes to the index? That should show us how the index got to be the way it is. Also, if you could post a copy of the raw relation file for pg_class_oid_index; I assume it's not too large.

Something like:

pg_xlogdump -r Btree -p walarchive/ -s 0/20035D0 | grep 11917

11917 is the relfilenode of pg_class_oid_index on a freshly initdb'd cluster. In case it's not the same on your system, you can use oid2name to find it out.
