If it's repeatable, it's corrupted data :-(.  If it just happened once,
and doesn't recur on the next try, it might have been related to a system
catalog race condition that we fixed last fall.  (What PG version are you
running?)  I'm unsure about that though, because the toast table name
seems to indicate that it's for a user table not a system catalog, and
I'm not very sure why VACUUM would be doing toast dereferences into a
user table.
