I wonder if the problem could be with buf->io_wref.  In WaitIO() we do:

        iow = buf->io_wref;
        UnlockBufHdr(buf, buf_state);
        ...
            pgaio_wref_wait(&iow);

... but UnlockBufHdr() is only concerned with write ordering:

static inline void
UnlockBufHdr(BufferDesc *desc, uint32 buf_state)
{
    pg_write_barrier();
    pg_atomic_write_u32(&desc->state, buf_state & (~BM_LOCKED));
}

What happens if you insert pg_memory_barrier() after the line that
reads buf->io_wref?

Does this reproduce on REL_18_STABLE?
