This seems to have been noticed and fixed in HEAD:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=b4e0741727685443657b55932da0c06f028fbc00
I wonder whether that should've been back-patched.
In the meantime, though, it sure looks like you've got a lot more than
one row in there. Perhaps you did umpteen zillion updates on that one
row?
