Actually, looking closer, the quoted code is simply not broken without
RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE: without that, neither heap_close nor index_close
will do anything that could cause a cache flush. So while it's certainly
good pratice to move that lappend_oid call up, it does not explain the
observed symptoms. We still need some more investigation here.
