Andres and I hashed this out on IRC. The basic problem was that I was
relying on pg_stat_replication to point out when a successful
replication connection was established. However, he pointed out cases
where pg_stat_replication will report sync or streaming even though
replication has failed due to differences in WAL position. That appears
to be what happened here.
