Hmmmm ... not sure. It seems a bit scary, but on the other hand we
should be able to assume that the updating subtransaction hasn't been
rolled back (else surely we shouldn't be firing the trigger). So in
principle it seems like the t_ctid link can't have been replaced.
This will foreclose any ideas about collapsing t_ctid link chains,
if anyone had it in mind to do that.
