Few other comments:
1. The error in lazy_vacuum_heap can either have phase
VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_INDEX_* or VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_VACUUM_HEAP depending
on when it occurs. If it occurs the first time it enters that
function before a call to lazy_vacuum_page, it will use phase
VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_INDEX_*, otherwise, it would use
VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_VACUUM_HEAP. The reason is lazy_vacuum_index or
lazy_cleanup_index won't reset the phase after leaving that function.

2. Also once we set phase as VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_VACUUM_HEAP via
lazy_vacuum_page, it doesn't seem to be reset to
VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_SCAN_HEAP even when we do scanning of the heap. I
think you need to set phase VACUUM_ERRCB_PHASE_SCAN_HEAP inside loop.

I think we need to be a bit more careful in setting/resetting the
phase information correctly so that it doesn't display the wrong info
in the context in an error message.
