That's what I originally did, but it's too early for elog.
I'm reluctant to just fprintf(...) to stderr, as there's no way for the
user to suppress that, and it'll be emitted for each backend start.
Though on the other hand it really is a "shouldn't happen" case.
So the options seem to be ignoring the error silently or printing to stderr.
