It's actually entirely normal. For some system tables the actual
relfilenode isn't stored in the system catalog but in the relation
mapper. Those are
a) tables needed to access the catalogs themselves like pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_proc, ..
b) shared tables where we otherwise couldn't change the relfilenode from another database
To get the actual relfilenode you actually need to do something like:
SELECT relname, pg_relation_filenode(pg_class.oid) FROM pg_class;
