IMNSHO, it's a no-brainer for the todo (but I think it's more
complicated than adding some comparisons -- which are working now):

postgres=# explain select ctid from foo where ctid >= '(3786,67)'::tid limit 1;
                            QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=0.00..0.05 rows=1 width=6)
   ->  Seq Scan on foo  (cost=0.00..16422.00 rows=333333 width=6)
         Filter: (ctid >= '(3786,67)'::tid)
(3 rows)
