Well, I'm by no means an expert in the code, but from my looking around
bufmgr and transam yesterady, it really looks like it would be a
modularity nightmare...

But I think that would have the same "total IO" affect as nop WAL record
being generated at the the page being dirtied, which would seem to fit
the code a bit better...
