Huh. So what we have here, apparently, is that regular MVCC snapshots
think there is exactly one copy of the 1698936148/0 row, but TOAST fetches
think there is more than one. This is darn odd, not least because we
never do UPDATEs in toast tables, only inserts and deletes, so there
certainly shouldn't be update chains there.
It seems like you've got some corner case wherein SnapshotToast sees a row
that isn't visible according to MVCC --- probably a row left over from
some previous cycle of life. That is, I'm imagining the OID counter
wrapped around and we've reused a toast OID, but for some reason there's
still a row in the table with that OID. I'm not sure offhand how we could
get into such a state. Alvaro, does this ring any bells (remembering that
this is 9.3)?
