Actually: looking at the place where this is issued, namely
logicalrep_worker_launch, and comparing it to the cleanup logic
in WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach, it looks to me like the problem
is we're failing to do logicalrep_worker_cleanup() in this case.
We have initialized a logical rep worker slot, and we're just
walking away from it.

I'll go see if I can't reproduce this by injecting random failures right
there.
