If you are following the same design that Heikki put forward, then there is a problem with it in maintaining the bits in page and the bits in visibility map in sync, which we have already discussed.
Are you referring to this: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-02/msg02097.php ? I believe Robert's changes to make the visibility map crash-safe covers that. Clearing the bit in the visibility map now happens within the same critical section as clearing the flag on the heap page and writing th WAL record.
