No further comments ... I think the patch is simple enough. Thanks for
looking -- I'll get it pushed on Monday or so.

Hmm. Alternatively, maybe it'd make sense to change
HeapTupleHeaderSetMovedPartition to use ItemPointerSetMovedPartitions
instead of doing ItemPointerSet directly. But that looks mostly
pointless, since the extensibility aspect of this interface has been
superseded by table AM work. I agree we should just remove the macro
and update the comment as you suggest.
