Actually, the page header size *is* maxaligned. The problem is that
TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD isn't.
We could make it so, but that would change TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE thus
forcing an initdb. I think simply removing the MAXALIGN operations
in the code is a better answer, as it eliminates some rather pointless
overhead. There's no particular reason why the threshold needs to be
maxaligned ...
