Thanks! On top of which patch version one can apply it? I'm asking
because I believe I've addressed similar issues in the last version, and
the last proposed diff (after resolving some conflicts) breaks tests for
me, so not sure if I miss something.

At the same time if you and Tomas strongly agree that it actually makes
sense to make moving forward/reading backward case work with dead tuples
correctly, I'll take a shot and try to teach the code around _bt_skip to
do what is required for that. I can merge your changes there and we can
see what would be the result.
