I could not reproduce the failure, and have no idea how speculative insert can
stay w/o CONFIRM / ABORT record. The only problem I could imagine is that
change_useless_for_repack() filters out the CONFIRM / ABORT record
accidentally, but neither code review nor debugger proves that
theory. (Actually if this was the problem, the test failure probably wouldn't
be that rare.)
