I guess the question is whether it's right to conflate "table is unlogged" with "LSN is fake". It's not immediately obvious to me that those concepts are isomorphic, although though the reverse isn't obvious to me either.
The buffer manager only needs to know if it has to flush the WAL before writing the page to disk. The flag just means that the buffer manager never needs to do that for this buffer. You're still free to store a real LSN there if you want to, it just won't cause any WAL flushes.
