I don't know much about Google Cloud SQL internals. Is it relatively
close to Postgres (as e.g. RDS) or are the internals very different /
modified for cloud environments?

I personally don't see how could this fail and then succeed, unless
Google does something smart with the WAL segments under the hood. Surely
we try to open the same WAL segment (given the LSN is the same), so how
could it not exist and then exist?
As Ron already suggested, it might be useful to see information for the
replication slot peerflow_slot_wal_testing_2 (especially the restart_lsn
value). Also, maybe show the contents of pg_wal (especially for the
segment referenced in the error message).
Can you reproduce this outside Google cloud environment?
