HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() returns HeapTupleBeingUpdated in this case. 
HeapTupleSelfUpdated comes from here (line 4749):
    /* if there are updates, follow the update chain */    if (follow_updates && !HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY(infomask))
{        HTSU_Result res;        res = heap_lock_updated_tuple(relation, tuple, &t_ctid,
     GetCurrentTransactionId(),                                      mode);        if (res != HeapTupleMayBeUpdated)
   {            result = res;            /* recovery code expects to have buffer lock held */
LockBuffer(*buffer,BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE);            goto failed;         }     }

Not at this time, sorry.
