This might be related to the issue reported by Amit, i.e. that
sequence_decode does not call ReorderBufferProcessXid(). If this keeps
failing, we'll have to add some extra debug info (logging LSN etc.), at
least temporarily. It'd be valuable to inspect the WAL too.

Interesting. I can think of one reason that might cause this - we log
the first sequence increment after a checkpoint. So if a checkpoint
happens in an unfortunate place, there'll be an extra WAL record. On
slow / busy machines that's quite possible, I guess.

I wonder if these two issues might be related ...
