Ouch, we already saw this actually:
https://postgr.es/m/16676-fd62c3c835880da6@postgresql.org
The problem is that the first worker locks the first (480) row (even
though it does not return it), so the second worker skips it due to SKIP
LOCKED.

I have this on my list of things to look at, but it's not at the top
yet sadly ...
