Yeah, that's a big problem, seems like the expression evaluation
machinery directly going and detoasting the externally stored data
using some random snapshot.  Ideally, in walsender we can never
attempt to detoast the data because there is no guarantee that those
data are preserved.  Somehow before going to the expression evaluation
machinery, I think we will have to deform that tuple and need to do
something for the externally stored data otherwise it will be very
difficult to control that inside the expression evaluation.
