Done yesterday.
To tie up a couple of loose ends from this thread:

That looks OK to me. With or without -w, we get as far as
1201/1CD91010 and then hit zeroes.

The reason 1201/1CAF84B0 appeared on a page despite not having been
replayed (due to the bug) is just that vismap pages don't follow the
usual logging rules, and can be read in by heap records that don't
mention the vm page (and therefore no FPW). So we can finish up
reading a page from disk with a future LSN on it.
