initdb does not enable checksums by default, requiring a
-k/--data-checksums, so likely this addition comes from from your

pg_class_oid_index is a btree index that relies on 8k on-disk pages
(default size), so it is subject to the same rules as normal relations
regarding checksums for the pages flushed to disk, even if it is on a
catalog.
