I think the only principled fixes are to either retain the lock or
forcibly detoast before releasing it. The main problem I see with
retaining the lock is that you'd need a way of finding out the
relation OIDs of all toast pointers you might later decide to expand.
I don't have an amazingly good idea about how to figure that out.
