In my environment the error remains with your last patches.

I didn't use any special.

./configure --prefix=/home/fabrizio/pgsql --enable-cassert
--enable-coverage --enable-tap-tests --enable-depend
make -s -j8 install
make check-world

Hmm nothing special indeed, still can't reproduce, I did one blind try for a fix. Can you test with attached?

+  The consequence of this capability is that every nextval() request
+  writes a WAL record recording the latest state of the sequence and hold
