It's just about impossible to believe that you would get an error at the
block I/O level due to a higher-level issue like "scan passing over rows
added by itself".

What I *could* believe, on the other hand, is that there's some problem
with reading blocks recently added to the file.  As I said before, we
really really need to find out what the Windows-level error code is
--- "Invalid argument" isn't telling us anything useful here.
