The replacement Assert is wrong no?  At least that's what was said
upthread.  More to the point, changing the Assert so it doesn't fire
doesn't do one damn thing to ameliorate the fact that cache reload
during transaction abort is wrong and unsafe.

We need to fix the real problem not paper over it.  The fact that the
fix may be hard doesn't change that.
