well, 90% of what you read on the Internet is wrong.

The method in that SO link does work, it's just slow. The workaround is
to do it like this instead:

delete from mytable
 where ctid = any (array(select ctid from mytable
                          where ...
                          order by ...
                          limit 1000));

But of course that's still an ugly hack.
