I think that's actually a different bug - what the patch was fixing was
the clog/subtrans errors, not the "reference to invalid pages".

I've submitted a fix for at least one cause causing that independently
from this bug which is included in 9.2.5
(17fa4c321ccf9693de406faffe6b235e949aa25f). Note thought that that fix
needed a fix iff using a cassert enabled build
(4da24f12e63313b7dbb6b3e3d0317e04045df636) which is *not* in 9.2.5.
