Ooh, interesting bug.

As a workaround I suggest connecting to all of your databases except one
and disabling autovacuum for pg_shdepend.  Then the table will be
processed in the one database where you left it enabled, and the other
workers will take care of the rest of the tables.

I'll think about a real fix.
