Oh, drat, you're right --- TOAST pointer datums contain the OID of
the toast file they are pointing to. So any value wide enough to be
pushed out-of-line is going to have a problem.

Ugh. Not sure there is any good way out of this one. Adjusting the
pointer datums in-place doesn't seem very feasible.
