I agree that that the check should be done on standby but how does it
make a difference to check the error message or return value? Won't it
be the same for both primary and standby?

It may not make a difference as this is anyway an error case but it
looks more logical to LIMIT by 1 as you are fetching a single LSN
value and it will be consistent with other tests in this file and the
test case in the file 006_logical_decoding.pl.
BTW, in the same test, I see it uses wait_for_catchup() in one place
and wait_for_replay_catchup() in another place after Insert. Isn't it
better to use wait_for_replay_catchup in both places?
