It sounds like you have no updates and deletes. Right? So the only
thing that could be different is the way that the pages are being
split (aside from variations in the width of index tuples, which seems
highly unlikely to be the only factor).

The heuristics used to trigger the relevant behavior are fairly
conservative. I wonder if we should be more aggressive about it.

That shouldn't matter, as far as this theory of mine is concerned.
Anything after 12 could be affected by the issue I'm thinking of.
