A checkpoint record is read before backup_label file is renamed, so the problem happens if shutdown is requested while the standby server is waiting for the WAL containing a checkpoint record to arrive from the master. This happened some times in my box when testing HS/SR. To avoid the problem, we should rename backup_label before reading any WAL record?
