Good day.
There is reproducible bug posted 10 months ago by Konstantin Knizhnik:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/5d335911-fb25-60cd-4aa7-a5bd0954aea0%40postgrespro.ru
I'll copy that message here.

Original message contains patch as well.
Andres, I've mentioned you've participated in GIST case in bottom link,
and it looks like related,
because COMMIT is called there as well.
