The previous tacit assumption that index_form_tuple() hides differences in the TOAST state of its input datums was wrong. Normalize input varlena datums by decompressing compressed values, and forming a new index tuple for fingerprinting using uncompressed inputs. The final normalized representation may actually be compressed once again within index_form_tuple(), though that shouldn't matter. When the original tuple is found to have no datums that are compressed inline, fingerprint the original tuple directly. Normalization avoids false positive reports of corruption in certain cases. For example, the executor can apply toasting with some inline compression to an entire heap tuple because its input has a single external TOAST pointer. Varlena datums for other attributes that are not particularly good candidates for inline compression can be compressed in the heap tuple in passing, without the representation of the same values in index tuples ever receiving concomitant inline compression. Add a test case to recreate the issue in a simpler though less realistic way: by exploiting differences in pg_attribute.attstorage between heap and index relations. This bug was discovered by me during testing of an upcoming set of nbtree enhancements. It was also independently reported by Andreas Kunert, as bug #15597. His test case was rather more realistic than the one I ended up using.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
