It seems the real problem is that it's not specifying *which* data is
probably corrupted.  Maybe:

HINT: If recovery fails repeatedly, it probably means that the recovery log
data is corrupted; you may have to restore from your last full backup.

Also, do we want to suggest use of pg_resetxlog in the message?
