That's expected, since the system is inserting a lot of tuples
successively.  What it looks like to me is that the failing call is the
first one where the initial test *doesn't* result in falling out
immediately.  So the probability is that there's something wrong with
the code that descends the tree.

Note that the all-zeroes pages in your dump are uninformative because
none of the real FSM data has been written to disk yet.  We can see
from this trace that the code is dealing with not-all-zero pages.
