I punted last night and reloaded the customer table from a backup. Turns
out I could recreate the most critical records from other sources. Life
goes on.

I would still like to refine my pganal tool to look inside of tuples. Where
should I look to find information about the internal structure? Is it
parsable at some level on its own or do I have to consult the system tables
to determine stucture. I suspect this might get more complicated once TOAST
is available.
