Yes.  The script authors discovered a working behavior, which matches my
research:

        pg_ctl start            specify config directory
        pg_ctl -w start         impossible
        pg_ctl restart          impossible
        pg_ctl stop             specify real data dir
        pg_ctl -w stop          specify real data dir
        pg_ctl reload           specify real data dir
