Yes, that's clearly a bug fix from pg_ctl point of view with TAP tests.
However, I have rather cold feet about back-patching for two reasons as
this introduces a behavior change:
- The concurrency part disappears.
- Caller of open() needs to enforce text mode to strip correctly CRLF
characters.

I would be fine to get that into v11 though, as that is not released
yet.  You will have to wait for a couple of days though, there is a long
week-end here away from laptops and electronic devices ;)
