That crash is decidedly odd. Any chance you still have the full
backtrace around?
This is in the SSI code... I'm not immediately seeing how this could be
related to logical decoding. It can't even be a imported snapshot,
because the exported snapshot is marked repeatable read.
Are you actually using serializable transactions? If so, how and why?
