I've managed to trigger an assert added by 53c2a97a9.
Please try the following script against a server compiled with
-DTEST_SUMMARIZE_SERIAL (initially I observed this failure without the
define, it just simplifies reproducing...):
# initdb & start ...

createdb test
echo "
SELECT pg_current_xact_id() AS tx
\gset

SELECT format('CREATE TABLE t%s(i int)', g)
   FROM generate_series(1, 1022 - :tx) g
\gexec

BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SELECT pg_current_xact_id();
SELECT pg_sleep(5);
" | psql test &

echo "
SELECT pg_sleep(1);
BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SELECT 1 INTO a;
COMMIT;

BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SELECT 2 INTO b;
" | psql test

It fails for me with the following stack trace:
TRAP: failed Assert("LWLockHeldByMeInMode(SimpleLruGetBankLock(ctl, pageno), LW_EXCLUSIVE)"), File: "slru.c", Line:
