The expected behavior (in 8.2 and newer) is to maintain about
autovacuum_freeze_max_age transactions' worth of clog; which is to say
about 50MB at the default settings. If you've got significantly more
than that then we should look more closely.
I don't remember what the truncation rule was in 8.1, so I can't speak
to the OP's complaint.
