At least in this example, it seems it wouldn't buy anything.
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum doesn't call
TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId, and while HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC
does, it falls out at that point and doesn't get to
TransactionIdIsInProgress.  So I'm not inclined to contort the API
unless we can come up with an example where it's important.

I'm off to work on the page-header-xid idea ...
