I see the bug: gistprunepage() calls
index_compute_xid_horizon_for_tuples() (which ultimately calls the
heapam.c callback for heap_index_delete_tuples()) with an empty array,
which we don't expect. The similar code within _hash_vacuum_one_page()
already only calls index_compute_xid_horizon_for_tuples() when
ndeletable > 0.

The fix is obvious: Bring gistprunepage() in line with
_hash_vacuum_one_page(). I'll go push a fix for that now.

Thanks for the report!
