Since they are sporadic, my guess is that it's due to autovacuum not
letting pgstat catch up. I'd try either setting
autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay to a low value, or extending the sleep
period in the stats test, to give more time for pgstat to catch up with
those messages.
Setting the cost_delay sounds a reasonable thing to do anyway, and in
fact I already proposed it and nobody objected (AFAIR). Now we only
have to agree on a reasonable value.
