Yep, so applied v2-0001 to document that, and backpatched it as it is
kind of important to know about.

Assert(!ps->dropped);
if (ps->dropped)
+ {
+ PgStat_HashKey key = ps->key;
+ elog(WARNING, "found non-deleted stats entry %u/%u/%llu"
+ "at server shutdown",
+ key.kind, key.dboid,
+ (unsigned long long) key.objid);
continue;
+ }

/*
* This discards data related to custom stats kinds that are unknown

Not sure how to feel about this suggestion, though. This would
produce a warning when building without assertions, but the assertion
would likely let us more information with a trace during development,
so..
