Essentially, that sequence of operations causes crash recovery to fail
if the "drop tablespace" transaction was committed before crashing.
This is a bug in crash recovery in general and should be reproducible
without configuring a standby. Is that right?
Your patch creates missing directories in the destination. Don't we
need to create the tablespace symlink under pg_tblspc/? I would
prefer extending the invalid page mechanism to deal with this, as
suggested by Ashwin off-list. It will allow us to avoid creating
directories and files only to remove them shortly afterwards when the
drop database and drop tablespace records are replayed.
