AFAICS, the only non-index-related occurrence of that error message
is in PageRepairFragmentation, which is invoked by VACUUM.  I'd say
it indicates a real problem and you shouldn't ignore it.  You might
try using pg_filedump or some such to examine the table and see if
there's anything obvious about what happened to the corrupted page.
