Actually, a simple installcheck generates a handful of them. I have
not actually run into a crash, but this causes pg_waldump to describe
the record incorrectly. Committed down to 11 after cross-checking
that the data inserted in the WAL record and what gets described are
both consistent.
_bt_restore_meta() does the right thing by the way when restoring the
page.
