Hmm. May be I missed something, but I don't understand where and what... I tried
to track all places of ambultdelete call. aminsertcleanup should be called
before any ambulkdelete, because ambulkdelete doesn't scan pending list which
can store items to be deleted and hence index will store item pointers to absent
tuples.

That's possible but inserts into index should be forbidden between
amvacuumstartup and last call of ambulkdelete.
