It's probably an academic concern, but what happens if a backend saves off cachedFetchXidStatus and then sleeps for a very long time. During that time an xid wraparound happens and the backend wakes up and happens to read another unhinted tuple with the same xid and a different commit status. This is obviously incredibly unlikely, but shouldn't cachedFetchXid be cleared at some appropriate point -- perhaps end of transaction?
