Is postgres actually compiled with valgrind support? What does pg_config
say?

If you're building the server locally (I don't think there are packages
with valgrind enabled), maybe try adding --enable-cassert option and

    CFLAGS"-DRANDOMIZE_ALLOCATED_MEMORY"

which will do more extensive checks at runtime.

Yes, I think it should be listed either for the index, or there should
be an extra section with replica identity. But that depends on psql
version. Aren't you accidentally using an older psql version? That
should be mentioned right after connecting to the server, I think.
