I see no int4cmp() calls at all, but plenty of _bt_compare(), and some
FunctionCall2Coll(). And yet, no _bt_binsrch(). I can see btoidcmp(),
so if I'm right then I guess it's a system catalog index.
I too would like to see a stack trace.
Trivia: pg_attribute_relid_attnam_index has deleted B-Tree pages after
a fresh initdb.
