It doesn't prove that the code is unsafe though.
I am suspicious that it is safe, because it's pretty darn hard to
believe we'd not have seen field reports of problems with triggers
otherwise. It's not like this is a seldom-executed code path.
But I concede that I don't see *why* it's safe --- it looks like
it ought to be possible for a VACUUM to move the tuple while the
trigger code is fetching it. You'd need the timing to be just
so...
