Then it isn't, because there are definitely log messages, which were
specifically put there for the purpose of recording the fully-expanded
archive command string:

    ereport(DEBUG3,
            (errmsg_internal("executing archive command \"%s\"",
                             xlogarchcmd)));
    rc = system(xlogarchcmd);
    if (rc != 0)
    {
        ereport(LOG,
                (errmsg("archive command \"%s\" failed: return code %d",
                        xlogarchcmd, rc)));
        return false;
    }
    ereport(LOG,
            (errmsg("archived transaction log file \"%s\"", xlog)));

Better double-check the usual sorts of gotchas, like whether you are
editing the right config file and properly forcing a config reload
afterwards.
