Here's a proposed patch along those lines. It fixes Hadi's original
crash case and passes check-world.

I'm a bit suspicious of the exclusion for idattrs being empty, but
if I remove that, some of the contrib/test_decoding test results
change. Anybody want to comment on that? If that's actually an
expected situation, why is there an elog(DEBUG) in that path?
