The problem was that we reported this error
FATAL: WAL ends before end time of backup dump
and this is inappropriate because, as you say, we are way past the min
recovery point of base backup.
If you look again at my proposal you will see that the proposal avoids
the above error by keeping track of whether we are past the point of
base backup or not. If we are still in base backup we get the error and
if we are passed it we do not.
