It would certainly be helpful to upgrade to latest minor if not there
already, not to mention tell us which PG version this is. But I'm
not really convinced that the 0408e1ed5 bug matches this symptom.
That would've led to duplicate TOAST rows, but it's hard to see how
duplicates could produce the above.
I'm inclined to think that this is either a corrupt toast index
(which'd be fixable with REINDEX) or actually-missing TOAST data.
Either way, if it's due to a PG bug rather than storage system
malfeasance, it's some other bug than that one.
