Now *my* head is hurting ;-)
AFAICS, we should be able to handle all of these cases, as long as
(a) the DBA doesn't manually delete any xlog files (else he probably
loses the chance to recover to the associated timeline), and
(b) the DBA doesn't screw up on picking which timeline to recover to.
I'd guess that (b) is likely to be the bigger threat :-(.
