If we're failing to remove it, and it's below the desired freeze
horizon, then we'd darn well better freeze it instead, no?
Since we know that the tuple only just became dead, I suspect
that the case would be unreachable in practice. But the approach
you propose risks violating the invariant that all old tuples
will either be removed or frozen.
