Oooh. I saw the sittella failure and assumed it was triggered by the
latest BRIN additions, but that fulmar failure is from before those hit.
Just from reading the documentation, couldn't the symptom we're seeing
arise from autovacuum having hit the table right before
brin_summarize_new_values got called?
