Ah.  I hadn't bothered to check the code in detail before asking about
the current XID.  Given subsequent data, it seems that current XID must
have moved past xvac while we were wondering about it.  This could mean
either corrupted xvac values, or that the crash caused current XID to go
backwards (suggesting loss of both the current pg_control and a big
chunk of WAL).  Since multiple tuples on different pages were involved,
I'm inclined to believe the second theory.
