It's unclear to me whether or not we'll be able to catch the repro on
the actual production system. It seems that we are hitting this somewhat
consistently, but at irregular and infrequent intervals. If we are able
to catch it and walk the WAL records then I'll post back here. FYI,
Bertrand was able to replicate the exact error message with pretty much
the same repro that's in the other email thread which is linked above.
Separately, would there be any harm in adding the relation OID to the
error message? Personally, I just think the error message is generally
more useful if it shows the main relation OID (since we know that the
toast OID can be 0). Not a big deal though.
