If I'm right then 8.2.5 will not help you. Attached patch should fix your
problem, but I suppose that there is an another bug. Test specially developed
for reproduce your problem discovers another issue. The diagnostic is:
FATAL: failed to add item to index page in 1663/10819/16460
CONTEXT: xlog redo Insert item, node: 1663/10819/16460 blkno: 514 offset: 78
nitem: 1 isdata: F isleaf F isdelete F updateBlkno:1551

Now I'm working on fixing it.
