It could definitly be related. There are some stats related bugs fixed
in HEAD (I don't think it's backpatched, and it's definitly not in a
released version).

If you don't need the stats, try turning off them - specifically the row
level stats - in postgresql.conf. Beware that turning these off will
disable autovacuum if you are using that one. but it's worth testing to
see if it solves your issue.
