Just starting to look now, but I suspect that this code in
llvmjit_deform.c needs to be updated now that we have virtual
generated columns.

/*
* If the column is declared NOT NULL then it must be present in every
* tuple, unless there's a "missing" entry that could provide a
* non-NULL value for it. That in turn guarantees that the NULL bitmap
* - if there are any NULLable columns - is at least long enough to
* cover columns up to attnum.
*
* Be paranoid and also check !attisdropped, even though the
* combination of attisdropped && attnotnull combination shouldn't
* exist.

if (att->attnullability == ATTNULLABLE_VALID &&
!att->atthasmissing &&
!att->attisdropped)
guaranteed_column_number = attnum;
