OK, well thats clearly an archive overwrite then.
This is happening on the slave and it is a page-level overwrite, of WAL,
not an original page being propagated to WAL via full_page_writes. So it
is either unconnected to the index problems on the primary, or they are
linked in some way, which seems most likely. That tends to argue against
a pure hardware problem. So it could be device drivers, OS or Postgres
causing this. Don't see how it can be the latter...
