I've switched to another table with less update traffic and was able
to catch the following:

(verify_heapam before)
blkno | offnum | attnum | msg
-------+--------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------
20365 | 8 | | xmax 1965224948 precedes relation freeze
threshold 1:1914858032
20365 | 12 | | xmin 1965224948 precedes relation freeze
threshold 1:1914858032
(2 rows)

(heap_page_items dump) - https://dpaste.org/fWzEj/raw

(verify_heapam after)
blkno | offnum | attnum | msg
-------+--------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------
20365 | 12 | | xmax 1965224955 precedes relation freeze
threshold 1:1914858032
20365 | 15 | | xmin 1965224955 precedes relation freeze
threshold 1:1914858032
(2 rows)

If this is not enough, I can try to catch even more matching before/after pairs.

Best regards,
