I don't think that there is any fundamental reason why VACUUM cannot
have repeatable results.

Anyway, I suppose it's possible that problems reappeared here due to
some other patch. Something else could have broken Andres' earlier
band aid solution (which was to set synchronous_commit=on in
test_setup).

Is there any patch that could plausibly have had that effect, whose
commit fits with our timeline for the problems seen on wrasse?
