Here is the test for same. After insertion of 3000 records, I think at
first split we can see bucket page flag is set with LH_BITMAP_PAGE.

create table t1( ti int);
create index i1 on t1 using hash(ti);
postgres=# select hasho_flag from hash_page_stats(get_raw_page('i1', 1));
 hasho_flag
------------
          2
postgres=# insert into t1 select generate_series(1, 1000);
INSERT 0 1000
postgres=# select hasho_flag from hash_page_stats(get_raw_page('i1', 1));
 hasho_flag
------------
          2
(1 row)

postgres=# insert into t1 select generate_series(1, 1000);
INSERT 0 1000
postgres=# select hasho_flag from hash_page_stats(get_raw_page('i1', 1));
 hasho_flag
------------
          2
(1 row)

postgres=# insert into t1 select generate_series(1, 1000);
INSERT 0 1000
postgres=# select hasho_flag from hash_page_stats(get_raw_page('i1', 1));
 hasho_flag
------------
         66
(1 row)

I think If this is a bug then example given in pageinspect.sgml should
be changed in your patch after the bug fix.
+hasho_prevblkno | -1
+hasho_nextblkno | 8474
+hasho_bucket    | 0
+hasho_flag      | 66
+hasho_page_id   | 65408
