I've reproduced this issue with script Ildar provided. I don't find
out the root cause yet and I'm not sure the patch takes a correct way
to fix this.
In my environment, I got the following pg_waldump output and the
logical decoding failed at 0/019FA058 when processing NEW_CID.

I thought that the logical decoding doesn't create ReorderBufferTXN of
xid=1999 when processing NEW_CID since it decodes ASSIGNMENT of
xid=1999 beforehand. But what actually happen is that it skips NEW_CID
since the state of snapshot builder is SNAPBUILD_BUILDING_SNAPSHOT yet
and then the state becomes SNAPBUILD_FULL_SNAPSHOT when processing
RUNNING_XACTS , and therefore it creates two ReorderBufferTXN entries
for xid = 1999 and xid = 1998 as top-level transactions when
processing NEW_CID (ReorderBufferXidSetCatalogChanges creates xid=1999
and ReorderBufferAddNewTupleCids creates xid = 1998). And therefore it
got the assertion failure when adding ReorderBufferTXN of xid = 1998.
I'll look into this more deeply tomorrow.
