Since 6ef2eba3 ("Skip checkpoints, archiving on idle systems."), GetLastImportantRecPtr() is used to avoid performing superfluous checkpoints, xlog switches, running-xact records when the system is idle. Unfortunately the check concerning running-xact records had a off-by-one error, leading to such records being potentially skipped when only a single record has been inserted since the last running-xact record. An alternative approach would have been to change GetLastImportantRecPtr()'s definition to point to the end of records, but that would make the checkpoint code more complicated.
