If it were an actual TRUNCATE, yeah. But it could be a case of VACUUM
truncating a now-empty table to zero blocks.
But nothing like this would explain the OP's report that corruption is
completely reproducible for him. So I like your theory about hash index
use better. We really oughta get some WAL support in there.
