Hm, that's odd. The startup callback should (and is, I used it just a
couple hours ago) definitely be called when using the streaming
replication protocol. You're saying that the callback is not called when
you do START_LOGICAL_REPLICATION ... ?
Can you reproduce the problem with test_decoding? Because that'd
actually crash if no startup callback were registered...
Can you show your code/a testcase?
