I added a pair of elog(WARNING) traces before each of the new
INJECTION_POINT() calls.

When I run the test against the FreeBSD CI target with this new
instrumentation, I see a WARNING that indicates that we've reached the
top of _bt_lock_and_validate_left as expected. I don't see any second
WARNING indicating that we've taken _bt_lock_and_validate_left's
unhappy path, though (and the test still fails). This doesn't look
like an issue with the planner.

I attach the relevant regression test output, that shows all this.
