I can confirm that this is an issue related to session locks which are
not cleaned up when in an out-of-transaction state, state that can be
reached between a transaction commit or start while holding at least
one session lock within one single command of VACUUM, CIC or REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY. The failure is actually pretty easy to reproduce if you
add an elog(ERROR) after a CommitTransactionCommand() call and then
shut down the connection. I am starting a new thread about that. The
problem is larger than it looks, and exists for a long time.
