Meh ... but given the simplicity of the write-side fix, maybe changing
it is appropriate.
However, this seems too forgiving:
+ if (xlrec->overwritten_lsn != state->overwrittenRecPtr &&
+ xlrec->overwritten_lsn - SizeOfXLogShortPHD != state->overwrittenRecPtr &&
+ xlrec->overwritten_lsn - SizeOfXLogLongPHD != state->overwrittenRecPtr)
The latter two cases should only be accepted if overwrittenRecPtr is
exactly at a page boundary.
