I hope you had pinged some days earlier.  Here's a patch, but I will
wait until this week's releases have been tagged before pushing.

I checked 9.2, and it doesn't look like it's subject to the same
problem: instead of HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum, it uses
HeapTupleIsSurelyDead in the equivalent place.  Still, I think it's
saner to apply the same bug because as Andres notes the problem might
still be present in pgrowlocks and who knows what else.
