While decoding the multi-insert WAL we can't clean the toast untill we get the last insert of that WAL record. Now if we stream the changes before we get the last change, the memory for toast chunks won't be released and we expect the txn to have streamed all changes after streaming. This restriction is mainly to ensure the correctness of streamed transactions and it doesn't seem worth uplifting such a restriction just to allow this case because anyway we will stream the transaction once such an insert is complete. Previously we were using two different flags (one for toast tuples and another for speculative inserts) to indicate partial changes. Now instead we replaced both of them with a single flag to indicate partial changes.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
