I've this problem on different machines too (on a daily basis), and restarting the database has never helped. There are for sure no open transactions when this happens, and the only way out is to regenerate all tuples:
update tablename set colname=colname; (take whatever column you like). I guess it's because I've a cron job which is running every minute or so and checks some conditions, and I guess it is called while vacuum full is running too.
