Now that we have autovacuum on by default, we might get into random
failures because of re-ordering. Though I don't seem to recall anybody
complaining yet, it could just be that we are lucky or our regression
suite don't have long enough running tests to give autovacuum chance
to recycle some of the dead tuples.
