Yes.

No, other than write lots of stuff to a table.
Straight answers, but I hope that helps.
In retrospect, there is a slight timing error between end backup and
archival of next WAL log. The first-release design for PITR didn't fully
cover lower traffic situations, so in those cases the timing error
becomes noticeable. You're not the first to observe this, though only by
about a month.
I'm considering options for the next release, since major change seems
to be required to the basic xlog handling mechanisms.
