I think there's a race condition at the end of recovery. When the
shutdown checkpoint is written, with new TLI, doesn't a cascading
walsender try to send that to the standby as soon as it's flushed to
disk? But it won't find it in the WAL segment with the old TLI that it's
reading.
Also, when segments are restored from the archive, using
restore_command, the cascading walsender won't find them because they're
not written in pg_xlog like normal WAL segments.
