This is exactly why the HeapTupleSatisfiesFOO() functions all test
TransactionIdIsInProgress() first and TransactionIdDidCommit() only if
it returns false. I don't think it's really legal to test
TransactionIdDidCommit() without checking TransactionIdIsInProgress()
first. And I bet that's exactly what this code is doing...
