Figured this out with help from Dave B. I had installed from a 4.6.1 beta and the new permissions stuff, which does away with these views ended up in the 4.6-4.6.1 upgrade script. Since the upgrade script was a version beneath my "4.6.1" kernel, I never got the upgrade.
This may or may not be an issue for others but I thought I'd mention the fact that I was unable to run the 4.6-4.6.1 upgrade script on PG 7.3 without writing rules for deleting from views. So if you are planning to move a site over to 7.3 and *then* run the upgrade scripts to get to the kernel to 4.6.3, your life will be easier if you are at least at 4.6.1 before you dump your 7.2 DB.
