Hm, I think I see what's happening. The xl_brin_update record
references two buffers, one which is target for the updated tuple and
another which is the revmap buffer. When the update target buffer is
being first used we set the INIT bit which removes the buffer reference
from the xlog record; in that case, if the revmap buffer is first being
modified after the prior checkpoint, that revmap buffer receives backup
block number 0; but the code hardcodes it as 1 on the expectation that
the buffer that's target for the update will receive 0. The attached
patch should fix this.
I cannot reproduce the issue after applying this patch, can you please
confirm that it fixes the issue for you as well?
