Hmm. I think that not resetting the n_tuples_xxx fields was simply an
oversight in Magnus' patch that added them,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-03/msg00144.php
Magnus, was this intentional by any chance?

However, I disagree with resetting last_autovac_time ... that's not a
counter, so there's no particularly good reason to discard its value.
