Hi.

The tuplesort_getheaptuple() will contain both live and recently
deleted tuples. However, the proposed fix passes missing_ok=true for
all tuples coming out of the sort, which means a toast fetch failure
for a LIVE tuple would be acceptable and will be silently skipped. Or
am I missing something?
