Bacula is on a separate machine, but it can run scripts on the
machine being backed up to "prepare" files to be then transferred
(and removed). I hadn't checked the configuration for this specific
machine, but for others (tracsvn) I'm sure there's a preparation
script that creates local PostgreSQL backups...

Ok, I moved them under /var/lib/trashme, so next person that needs
to clean things up will know what to do with them...
