It looks like it's interference from systemd here. The problem is
easily reproduced by putting '-t 0' into pg_ctl.conf:

● postgresql@10-main.service - PostgreSQL Cluster 10-main
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql@.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)

result 'exit-code'.

In other words, systemd will by default stop a service that fails to
start.

I'm investigating if it's a good idea to tell systemd to ignore the
exit code of pg_ctl(cluster). Possibly moving to Type=notify is the
best solution, but not all majors support that yet.

Will report back once I have a solution.
