If that's the correct theory, yes. Did you match up the OID yet?

You could have encountered it anytime since TOAST was invented, or at
least since RETURN QUERY was invented (the latter is newer IIRC).
The fact that the bug has been there so long and has only been reported
a couple of times is the main reason why I'm loath to take a brute
force duplicate-the-data approach to fixing it. Such a fix would
penalize many more people than it would help.
