Was this preceded by a WARNING?

Was the server running with a log_min_messages low enough to log WARNINGs?

I probably can't help find the bug but I can see that would be helpful as
there are three branches of the code that can result in this and two of them
log warnings before returning the invalid offset which causes the panic.
