Wouldn't that be old-enough xmin?

heap_prune_chain() is already calling HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum, so it should be able to figure out if the page is all visible without a lot of extra work, and pass that info back to heap_page_prune (which would then pass it down to _execute()).

Definitely not a one-liner though.
