When repacking a table concurrently, some border conditions can cause a concurrent update to propagate the original old tuple to the transient table (such as a trigger that returns OLD). That's essentially just wasted space, which REPACK is there to remove. Prevent that by setting the isnull flag to true for any column cataloged as dropped in tuples being "replayed" as concurrent updates.
