Sounds reasonable.

Thanks!
Unfortunately I could reproduce the problem even after that commit.
Attached is the script I used to reproduce the problem.
The cause is that CheckRecoveryConsistency() is called before rm_redo(),
as Horiguchi-san suggested upthead. Imagine the case where
minRecoveryPoint is set to the location of the XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE
record. When restarting the server with that minRecoveryPoint,
the followings would happen, and then PANIC occurs.
1. XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record is read.
2. CheckRecoveryConsistency() is called, and database is marked as
consistent since we've reached minRecoveryPoint (i.e., the location
of XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE).
3. XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record is replayed, and invalid page is
found.
4. Since the database has already been marked as consistent, an invalid
page leads to PANIC.
