I've applied a patch for this:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=7f797d27fe0be5200ad5fd5af6cefcee30c8e24a
It turns out that the problem is very significantly harder to reproduce
pre-9.0, which may explain why you hadn't seen it before ... but it does
exist, at least as far back as 8.2, and probably in every version that
has TOAST tables.
