Not sure that you are clear on what's happening here, but the train of
events is something like
- you prepare a statement
- somebody modifies the schema of one of the tables used in the
statement
- you try to execute the statement, and updating the prepared
plan crashes

If you say "none of my stuff is changing any schemas", then I'd guess
that the triggering event is a background autovacuum, which forces
replan just like an intentional schema change would. Does stopping
autovacuum make the problem go away?
