Personally not sure it should be fixed. IIUC, this could happen because the
sequence sync worker does not handle everything in the one transaction. However,
the transaction would be quite longer if we modify that.

From another perspective... assuming that the sequencesync worker has lock
during the synchronization. In your workload, the ALTER SEQUENCE command would
be delayed till the synchronization is done. In the end, the seq0 is synched
with the pub's seq0 then renamed to seq1 - eventually there are the same result.
Can you clarify if there are other problematic workloads?
