I've made a simple test based on the regression test (see attachment) and can confirm that REINDEX after upgrade fixes the index contents.

I've added diagnostic logging that shows when gbt_text_same() returns 0 for keys that are the equal but have different padding. So I've observed that gbt_text_same() returns incorrect result, but all the btree_gist tests still pass. Moreover, unconditional "*result = 0;" in gbt_text_same() doesn't affect the tests at all. I've found that gbt_text_same() is called by gistKeyIsEQ() from backend/access/gist/gistutil.c, and made gistKeyIsEQ() return false any time. And even with such change all check-world tests still pass (except for isolation/predicate-gist that failed due to locking of pages split differently). So for now, I still don't know how to get incorrect query results due to incorrect gistKeyIsEQ() behavior/excessive page splitting. Best regards, Alexander
