I also noticed a bug report earlier this year with another PG user
reporting the same error - on version 12.3

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/16812-3d9df99bd77ff616%40postgresql.org

Today I received a report from a new PG user of this same error message
causing their logical replication to break. This customer was also
running PostgreSQL 12.3 on both source and target side.

Haven't yet dumped WAL or anything, but wanted to point out that the
error is being seen in the wild - I hope we can get a version of this
patch committed soon, as it will help with at least one cause.
