Description: Backend panics on SETVAL('..', 0)...

Details:

I haven't been able to reproduce this in a controlled way, but on a large
schema create in a single transaction, I was doing a SETVAL('foo_id_seq', 0)
and the backend was panicing, which seems broken. This is using HEAD from a
few hrs ago, but it's been going on for a while... I just stumbled across
this again while online and it jogged my memory. -sc
