I know you said detecting memory errors wasn't being attempted, but bad memory accounts for a reasonable number of reports of database corruption on -general so I was wondering if moving the checks around could catch some of these.
Down the road, I would also like to have a sanity check for data modification that occur while the data is in a buffer, to guard against memory or CPU errors. But the huge issue there is how to do it without killing performance. Because there's no obvious solution to that, I don't want to try and get it in for 8.4.
