So, the current text is:
"This error allowed multiple versions of the same row to become visible
to queries, resulting in apparent duplicates. Since the error is in WAL
replay, it would only manifest during crash recovery or on standby
servers."

what about:

The most prominent consequence of this bug is that rows can appear to
not exist when accessed via an index, while still being visible in
sequential scans. This in turn can lead to constraints, including unique
and foreign key ones, to be violated lateron.
