Ah. I was indeed confused by that for a bit.

I don't see a source of that that would be specific to this test though :(. We
do wait for pg_basebackup to have shut down, which wrote backup.label (which
was "manifactured" during streaming by basebackup.c).
Perhaps we should crank up log level in the test? No idea if it'll help, but
right now I don't even know where to start looking.
