A long shot, but we experienced a similar kind of issue, though our
dataset was a bit different (not so many large objects).
After having reindexed a couple of times with about the same results
(working fine for some time, then complaining again), I dropped the
index and recreated it. That seemed to fix the issue at our
installation, we had no such problems after that. Ran for some months
after that before I took the plunge and moved to 7.4..

This might not at all work for you though, and as removing the index
will probably kill your performance for a while I cannot promise you a
fix with this workaround..

Best Regards
