AFAIK:

1. Tuple freezing and hint bits were not WAL-logged, which could lead to 
data corruption if database crashed after VACUUM. See recent thread 
titled "WAL logging freezing".

2. B-tree page deletion bug, which could lead to VACUUM erroring with 
"failed to re-find parent key" message. See thread "Nasty btree deletion 
bug": http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-10/msg01373.php
