Hi,

In the PageGetItemIdCareful() introduced by commit a9ce839a, it seems
like we are using btree page pd_special structure BTPageOpaqueData for
error case without max aligning it.
    if (ItemIdGetOffset(itemid) + ItemIdGetLength(itemid) >
        BLCKSZ - sizeof(BTPageOpaqueData))
        ereport(ERROR,

I'm not sure if it is intentional. ISTM that this was actually not a
problem because the BTPageOpaqueData already has all-aligned(???)
members (3 uint32, 2 uint16). But it might be a problem if we add
unaligned bytes. PageInit always max aligns this structure, when we
initialize the btree page in _bt_pageini and in all other places we
max align it before use. Since this is an error throwing path, I think
we should max align it  just to be on the safer side. While on it, I
think we can also replace BLCKSZ with PageGetPageSize(page).

Attaching a small patch. Thoughts?
