Did you have any occasions where CREATE or DROP DATABASE was interrupted?
Either due the connection being terminated or a crash?
As described in
https://postgr.es/m/20230314174521.74jl6ffqsee5mtug%40awork3.anarazel.de
we don't handle that correctly for DROP DATABASE.
I think that might actually fit the symptoms - the DropDatabaseBuffers() will
throw away the dirty buffer contents from the WAL strategy CREATE DATABASE,
but if you then get cancelled ata point before all the files are removed, the
on-disk fails with all-zeroes would remain.
