Hi,

I noticed this recent BF failure:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=leafhopper&dt=2025-05-15%2008%3A10%3A04

For a moment I thought this could be a bug in memoize, but that doesn't
actually make sense - the failure isn't in memoize, it's the seqscan.

Subsequently I got worried that this is an AIO bug or such causing wrong query
results. But there are instances of this error well before AIO was
merged. E.g.
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=leafhopper&dt=2024-12-18%2023%3A35%3A04

The same error is also present down to 16.

In 15, I saw a potentially related error
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=leafhopper&dt=2024-12-16%2023%3A43%3A03

There have been other odd things on leafhopper, see e.g.:
