The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency between the heap and the visibility map, which I was unable to confirm. The concern has been retracted. However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using checksums. By not setting the heap page LSN during redo, the protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a misleading comment. It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I am marking this as a theoretical risk. But, as discussed, it did violate expectations about the page LSN, so it may have other consequences. Backpatch to all supported versions.
