It's starting to look more like that. I can reproduce the bug by
running the REINDEX in a tight loop while "make installcheck" runs. It
looks as if the two tuples passed to comparetup_index_btree() are
separate tuples that each point to the same heap TID.

I have an rr recording of this. It shouldn't take too long to figure
out what's going on...
