No. It'd only break things if there were zero tuples on each page, but
that's not possible (else the page wouldn't be in the index output to
begin with).
There is a bit of oddness in how fast the target ramps up, because of
the target++ in the "Continuing in previously obtained page" path.
I wasn't too happy with that target++ to begin with, but am not sure
what's a saner thing to do there.
