Thank you for the report! I was able to reproduce and observe that the
buffer is not marked dirty.
The call (hashovfl.c:671):
XLogRegisterBuffer(1, wbuf, REGBUF_STANDARD)
is followed unconditionally by:
PageSetLSN(BufferGetPage(wbuf), recptr)
so if the Assert were not there, it would be setting the LSN on a page
that's not marked dirty. Therefore I think this is a bug, or at least
an interesting/unexpected case.
Perhaps the registration and the PageSetLSN don't need to happen when
nitups==0?
