All,

More on this:

1) I've confirmed at the 2nd site that the issue doesn't happen if
pg_stat_statements.so is not loaded.  So this seems to be confirmation
that either auto_explain, pg_stat_statements, or both need to be loaded
(but not necessarily created as extensions) in order to have the issue.

2) I've been unable to reproduce the issue using a naive test case, but
I'll keep trying.

3) The XID information is interesting.

a) I've confirmed that this is a case of having multiple row versions
rather than allowing a duplicate PK to be inserted.

b) the end result of this corruption is XIDs which go backwards:

  xmin   |  xmax   |   ctid    | step_id | workitem_id | status
---------+---------+-----------+---------+-------------+---------
 3362707 | 3362707 | (6177,31) |       1 |      446469 | pending
 3362710 | 3362707 | (6177,32) |       1 |      446469 | working

 5520953 | 5520953 | (5064,105) |       1 |      727946 | pending
 5520954 | 5520953 | (5064,108) |       1 |      727946 | working

What's additionally problematic is that the current snapshot minxid is
in the 9000000 range, so it's not clear why any of the above rows are
visible at all.
