If I'm reading the code correctly, your change in RelationBuildTupleDesc
is scribbling directly on the disk buffer, which is surely not okay.
I don't understand why you need that at all given the other defenses
you added ... but if you need it, you have to modify the tuple AFTER
copying it.

OK, will fix. I think we do need it (See Andres' comment in the bug
thread). It should be a fairly simple fix.

Thanks for looking.

OK. One other point is that in HEAD, you only need the hunk that
prevents atthasmissing from becoming incorrectly set. The hacks
to cope with it being already wrong are only needed in the back
branches. Since we already forced initdb for beta2, there will
not be any v14 installations in which pg_attribute contains
a wrong value.

Good point. Should I replace the relcache.c changes in HEAD with an
Assert? Or just skip them altogether?

I wouldn't bother touching relcache.c.
