invalid_page_tab does not use HASH_SHARED_MEM.  What did you have in
mind?

On my side, I have been letting a primary/standby set run for a certain
amount of time with the following running:
- pgbench load on the primary.
- background worker connecting to database, just running in loop and
sleeping.  It uses BgWorkerStart_ConsistentState as start mode.
- The standby gets stopped in immediate mode, and restarted after some
time to let some activity happening after the recovery point has been
reached.

After close to an hour of repeated tests, I am not able to reproduce
that.  Maybe there are some specifics in your schema causing more
certain types of records to be created.  Could you check if in the set
of WAL segments replayed you have references to the block the hash table
is complaining about?
