Ouch. Confirmed.
If I test pg_rewind with a tablespace (primary and standby on same
server, base backup taken using --tablespace-mapping), then I bump
immediately into an assertion failure:

Your patch is able to fix that. I have also checked that after
diverging the promoted server with more data and inserting data on the
old primary then the correct set of blocks from the tablespace is fetched as
well by pg_rewind. This patch also behaves correctly when creating a
new relation on the promoted server as it copies the whole relation. In
short your patch looks good to me.
Creating a test case for this patch would be nice, however this needs a
bit of work so as the tablespace map can be used with pg_basebackup and
PostgresNode.pm (or use raw pg_basebackup commands in pg_rewind tests):
- PostgresNode::init_from_backup needs to be able to understand extra
options given by caller for pg_basebackup.
- RewindTest::create_standby should be extended with extra arguments
given for previous extension.
