It's hard to say. I'd have expected that a select * from parent where
key=value would fail for both the fk check and for a check to see if the
key exists assuming they used the same plan.  Can you make a standalone
test case?

Well, it'd stop the message, but if there is corruption, it wouldn't fix
that.
