My first suspicion was in the same area. It's two commands within the same
session so it wouldn't actually be receiving any sinval messages just
processing the local list. The two commands are within the same transaction so
only the end-of-command list processed during CommandCounterIncrement() is
happening (or should be happening).

Either a) we're not actually issuing a CommandCounterIncrement() or b) the
command is not being properly marked as non-read-only when the update happens
or, uh, c) something else is broken with generating or executing those
invalidation messages.

Did you try running the script he provided? It happened for me first try.
