hi Tom,
I hesitate to share my query and indexes because it makes this question
seem more esoteric than I think it really is... but here we go.
* Version 9.6.3.
* I don't have any foreign key constraints.
* I don't use serializable.
* My update query is very careful to stay in an id range. [1]
* I do have some exotic indexes [2]. gist, gin, postgis, fillfactor...
My current theory is that, since the table is not clustered by id, rows
with very distant ids get stored in the same page, and the whole page is
locked during an update. Or something.

Thanks,
