Hmm. That does not sound right to me. If the page has a header LSN
higher than the one replayed, we should not see it as consistency has
normally been reached. XLogReadBufferExtended() seems to complain in
your case about a page which should not exist per the information of
your backtrace. What's the length of relation file at this point? If
the relation is considered as having less blocks, shouldn't we just
ignore it if we're trying to delete items on it and return
InvalidTransactionId? I have to admit that I am not the best specialist
with this code.
hblkno looks also unsanely high to me if you look at the other blkno
references you are mentioning upthread.

Yeah, that's used for standby conflicts.
