Not necessarily --- it's possible the WAL sequence simply didn't touch
those pages.

Your suggestion to rerun the recovery with higher log_min_messages
is a good one, because that way we'd get some detail about what the
WAL records that touched the pages were. I think DEBUG1 would be
sufficient for that, though, and DEBUG2 might be pretty durn verbose.
