From xlogdefs.h added by 9155580:
/*
 * First LSN to use for "fake" LSNs.
 *
 * Values smaller than this can be used for special per-AM purposes.
 */
#define FirstNormalUnloggedLSN  ((XLogRecPtr) 1000)

So it seems to me that you have caught a bug here, and that we had
better back-patch to v12 so as recovery and pg_resetwal don't mess up
with AMs using lower values than that.
