The cause of the problem seems to be the new heap created by
rebuild_relation() and copy_heap_data(), i.e., new VACUUM FULL.
Since it's not a temporary heap, its rd_istemp is off. OTOH
it needs to be synced after physical copy from old heap. So
XLogReportUnloggedStatement() is called in heap_sync().
The easy fix is to change the code as below.
if (XLogIsNeeded()) { snprintf(reason, sizeof(reason), "heap inserts on \"%s\"",
RelationGetRelationName(rel)); XLogReportUnloggedStatement(reason); }
But I'm not sure this fix is right, so I need to investigate
the code more.
