Thanks.  I happened to see both threads, only by chance.

I'd already started writing the same as your 0001, which is essentially the
same as yours.

Here:

 	}

I'm not sure why you use restore_vacuum_error_info() at all.  It's already
called at the end of lazy_vacuum_page() (and others) to allow functions to
clean up after their own state changes, rather than requiring callers to do it.
I don't think you should use it in a loop, nor introduce another
LVSavedErrInfo.

Since phase and blkno are already set, I think you should just set
vacrelstats->offnum = toff, rather than calling update_vacuum_error_info().
Similar to whats done in lazy_vacuum_heap():

                tblk = ItemPointerGetBlockNumber(&vacrelstats->dead_tuples->itemptrs[tupindex]);
                vacrelstats->blkno = tblk;

I think you should also do:

+               vacrelstats->offset = offnum;

I'm not sure, but maybe you'd also want to do the same in more places:
