I think that's a known bug in some system-specific startup script
(sloppy quoting, or something like that).  Should be fixed in 7.1.1.

Possibly; the recode support is not as well tested as some other parts
of the system.  But it's premature to jump to any conclusions with so
little data.  Can you provide backtraces from the core dump files?
Also, if it won't restart, try setting WAL_DEBUG=1 to get a more verbose
indication of what's failing in the restart.
