Hmm, I think that won't reproduce the exact problem.  What I wanted
was to run another command after "create index concurrently" which
depends on that and see if the decoding fails by removing the
XLOG_INVALIDATIONS code.  Once you get some failure, you can apply the
0002 patch and see if the test is passed?

But there doesn't seem to be any check even before this patch which
directly prohibits accumulating invalidations in DecodeCommit.  We
have check for base_snapshot in ReorderBufferCommit.  Did you get any
failure with that check?
