Wow, that is weird.  I see that error string happening when PG can't
extend the receipt buffer on the client side:

     appendPQExpBufferStr(&conn->errorMessage,
                   libpq_gettext("SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected\n"));

Can you check the server logs to see if there is any error there?  If I
had to take a guess, I would reduce maintenance_work_mem to 1GB and
retest.
