AFAICS this error can only come from ExecDelete(), because the value 1
is TM_Invisible and the other callsites where the "unexpected
table_lock_tuple" error appears use different wording for that one.

Maybe it's the result of a deferred constraint being checked at that
time ... maybe it's trying to honor an "on cascade delete" setting for
an FK, and the affected tuple has already been updated or deleted?
