The calculation, ReservedBackends >= MaxBackends, was corrected in
Postgres 9.3 with this commit:
commit b3055ab4fb5839a872bfe354b2b5ac31e6903ed6

Fix upper limit of superuser_reserved_connections, add limit for
wal_senders
Should be limited to the maximum number of connections excluding
autovacuum workers, not including.
Add similar check for max_wal_senders, which should never be higher
than
max_connections.
