Before that commit, replaying a heap update didn't try to keep both buffers locked at the same time, which is necessary for the correctness of hot standby. The patch fixed that, but missed releasing the old buffer in this corner case. I was not able to come up with a scenario with full_page_writes=on where this would fail, but I'm also not 100% sure it can't happen.

Heikki:
Is it safe to apply the patch you attached? We'd really like to roll out this fix to production instead of waiting for this to be released as a postgres minor version update.
