I also cannot reproduce this.

Can you dump the stats with pg_waldump please. Something like:

CREATE TABLE t(id integer) WITH (autovacuum_enabled = off);
INSERT INTO t SELECT gen.id FROM generate_series(1,3_500_000) gen(id);
CREATE INDEX t_id ON t(id);
SET maintenance_work_mem = '1MB';
UPDATE t SET id = id + 1;
select pg_current_wal_insert_lsn();   -- <<< PRINT WAL POS BEFORE VACUUM
VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE t;

And then:

pg_waldump -p data/pg_wal/ -s 1/F4474498 --stats=record

where "1/F4474498" is the position printed by the "SELECT 
pg_current_wal_insert_lsn()" above.


Do you have any non-default settings? "select name, 
current_setting(name), source  from pg_settings where setting <> 
boot_val;" would show that.
