I managed to hit that one as well and it's also what fairywren hit - the
assertion in 2094 and 2468 are basically copies of the same check, and
which one hit is a question of timing.

I think the issue can be hit (or rather detected) whenever a transaction
builds one snapshot while in recovery, and a second one during
end-of-recovery. The parallel query here is just
2021-05-03 09:18:35.602 EDT [1162987:6] DETAIL: Failed process was running: SELECT pg_is_in_recovery() = 'f';
(parallel due to force_parallel_mode) - which of course is likely to run
during end-of-recovery
So it does seem like the same bug of resetting the KnownAssignedXids
stuff too early.
