Yeah, I always thought so too.  I believe, this is just a copy-paste.  You
mean, it is worth creating a separate CF
entry for these fixes?

Actually, first versions of the 64xid patch set have such a cast to types
TransactionID, MultiXact and so on.  But,
after some discussions, we are switched to unsigned long long cast.
Unfortunately, I could not find an exact link
for that discussion.  On the other hand, such a casting is already used
throughout the code.  So, just for the
sake of the consistency, I would like to stay with these casts.

I'm 100% agree.  Maybe, I should return to this approach and find some
benefits for having FXIDs in WAL.
