Strange.  The best idea that comes to mind is to add some debugging
code to SendSharedInvalidMessage to log the content of each message
that's sent out.  That would at least tell us *what* is going into
the queue, even if not directly *why*.  Try something like (untested)

void
SendSharedInvalidMessage(SharedInvalidationMessage *msg)
{
	bool		insertOK;

+	elog(LOG, "sending inval msg %d %u %u %u %u %u",
+		msg->cc.id,
+		msg->cc.tuplePtr.ip_blkid.bi_hi,
+		msg->cc.tuplePtr.ip_blkid.bi_lo,
+		msg->cc.tuplePtr.ip_posid,
+		msg->cc.dbId,
+		msg->cc.hashValue);
+
	LWLockAcquire(SInvalLock, LW_EXCLUSIVE);
	insertOK = SIInsertDataEntry(shmInvalBuffer, msg);
	LWLockRelease(SInvalLock);
