Actually, what was provoking it was that several of the ECPG tests
disconnect in the middle of a transaction, which was exposing the fact
that pgstat's on_proc_exit hook ran before we'd performed the abort
in ShutdownPostgres. The Asserts I'd sprinkled in there to test the
transaction-awareness logic were unhappy. The visible failure would
be at some random later point, when the crash-recovery logic killed the
backend running the next test.
Is it worth adding something to the regular regression tests to exercise
that code path?
