You have a valid point.  Also, it is not clear if we are first
checking (xid == InvalidTransactionId) and returning from the
function, how can even Assert hit.

Right, if there is any such case, we should avoid it.

One more point about this patch, the commit message needs to be updated:

such caching. Perhaps it would be possible to add similar caching,

I think the above part of commit message is not right as the patch
already does such a caching now at the command level.
