Both this and the other behavior you reported sure seem like "can't
happen" situations. I do have a theory though: I think you are doing
something that is spawning multiple threads inside the backend, and then
the backend logic goes nuts because it's expecting to be single-threaded.

pg_buffercache wouldn't do that, and a quick google search suggests that
V8 knows nothing of threads either. Have you got anything else going
on in there?
