Yeah.  It's fairly hard to credit that temp_document_ids has any stats
given the way-off estimates for it.  Keep in mind that autovacuum
can't help you on temp tables: since only your own session can
access a temp table, you have to ANALYZE it explicitly if you need
the planner to have decent stats about it.
