This appears to be a bug that has existed for a long time since commit
efc16ea520 (in 2009). Your fix looks correct to me, but as for me, the
comment is not particularly necessary, and it would be sufficient to
insert the new line in the location according to the member order
within TransactionStateData.

I have briefly checked and found no issues with other struct members
of TransactionStateData.

regards.
