The test I was running doesn't do DDL, so only the user catalog tables
would have changes being tracked.
I still sometimes get the error. When I get sometime on the weekend I'll
work on some detailed instructions on how to grab and setup the various
components to replicate this test.
Also since updating (to 2c267e47afa4f9a7c) I've seen a assertion failure
in a normal client connection, not the walsender

I have no idea if this has anything to do with your recent changes or
some other change. I haven't so far been able to replicate that since
the first time I saw it.
