As a followup, btcheck found another index that had issues, and a toast

I have ALL the data I used to create this table still around so I just
dropped it and am reloading the data.

It sounds like there is a generic storage issue at play here. Often
TOAST data is the apparent first thing that gets corrupted, because
that's only because the inconsistencies are relatively obvious.

I suggest that you rerun amcheck using the same query, though this
time specify "heapallindexed=true" to bt_check_index(). Increase
maintenance_work_mem if it's set to a low value first (ideally you can
crank it up to 600MB). This type of verification will take a lot
longer, but will find more subtle inconsistencies that could easily be
missed.

Please let us know how this goes. I am always keen to hear about how
much the tooling helps in the real world.

I've already dropped and re-created the table involved (a metric crapton
of DNS queries). I know why and how this happened as well.  I had to
fully restore my system, and bacula didn't catch all the data etc since it was being modified, and I didn't do the smart thing then and restore from a pg_dump.
