No :-(. I wonder why in the world we didn't make that error message
include the relation and block number the tuple was found in.
(Well, I see the short answer: the code layer throwing the error
doesn't know. But that could be fixed easily enough.)
In the meantime, the only answer I can think of offhand is to manually
do VACUUM FREEZE on each of your MVs, and then refresh anything that
shows up with an error.
