FWIW, v4 indexes in Postgres 12 will support the new "rootdescend"
verification option, which isn't lossy, and would certainly have
detected your customer issue in practice. Admittedly the new check is
quite expensive, even compared to the other bt_index_parent_check()
checks, but it is nice that we now have a verification option that is
*extremely* thorough, and uses _bt_search() directly.
