It did. I've managed to reproduce an issue like this. I'm still narrowing down
the reproducer, but here's what I have so far:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wide; CREATE TABLE wide(id serial primary key, wide text);
pgbench -n -Mprepared -T1000 -f ~/tmp/insert_cci_bug.sql -c 16 -j 16 postgres

in concurrent psql
SELECT indrelid::regclass, indexrelid::regclass, bt_index_parent_check(indexrelid::regclass, true) FROM pg_index WHERE indrelid = (SELECT reltoastrelid FROM pg_class WHERE oid = 'wide'::regclass);
REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY pg_toast.pg_toast_331092_index;

usually after 1-3 iterations the index is corrupt. Reproduces both in 13 and
HEAD.
