To me it does not sound strange that the database is growing when the stat 
collector updates the tables with statistics. And since there are updates 
it would have been good to have vacuumed avery once in a while.

I don't know the internals of pg as well as some of the other people who 
have answered, but as far as I know the stat collector is not special in 
any way but is updating the stat tables.
