The new GiST sorting code does not, but the regular insert-based code does.
That's a bit questionable in the new code actually. Was that a conscious
decision? The right-links are only needed when there are concurrent page
splits, so I think it's OK, but the checks for InvalidBlockNumber in
gistScanPage() and gistFindPage() have comment "/* sanity check */".
Comment changes are needed, at least.
