Hmm, did you reindex pg_attribute in particular? Because that's where the
apparently missing data is.
I'm afraid VACUUM FULL would've destroyed any evidence of what went wrong,
but conceivably you could reinsert the missing row(s) by copying from
another database in the cluster. pg_attribute rows for system catalogs
should be the same across all databases.
