There's nothing inside of postgres that would operate on such a
schedule. Furthermore, unless I'm all wet about where the error is
coming from, this *must* be happening during receipt of a command from
an external client.

Perhaps turning on log_connections would give you a clue about what it
is. Also set log_line_prefix to make sure you can match up the error
report with the previous connection log entry (adding the PID is usually
enough).
