It would only be broken if someone interrupted a crash recovery
mid-flight and tried to establish a recovery stop point before the end
of WAL, no?  Why don't we just forbid that case?  This would either be
the same as, or a small extension of, the pg_control state vs existence
of recovery.conf error check that was just discussed.
