OK, so that confirms my suspicion that it was an EvalPlanQual issue
(hence, you need concurrent updates on the same row to trigger it).

I believe this might be the same bug we isolated and fixed just a
couple of days ago:

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=87fed2a197abc1397b63ee74b3fa7eb20471fff5

The stack trace looks the same as what Oleksii showed in that thread
for a non-assert build. As far as I know, that bug only triggers if
a single ModifyTable plan node has to run EPQ checks for more than
one target table --- so, is this query updating a partitioned table
or inheritance tree, and is it plausible that it had to update rows
in more than one sub-table, and that some other transaction(s) were
concurrently updating those same rows?
