Does skipping this cause any problem if some attributes are toasted?
I suppose not, just something to think about.
I don't see why would this cause any such problems - if anything has to be done when forming the tuples, it had to be done the first time. Shuffling tuples to a different batch may happen, but AFAIK it's really just a copy.
