That idea was in my mind too, but Mason stated that the rows showed
different "updated_at" values, so they couldn't be mirror images of that
sort.  The pg_filedump output for the two blocks would be more conclusive
about this though --- I was expecting to pay attention to the whole
block contents not only the seemingly-dup rows.
