It is, though not related to this problem. I'd expect pg_standby's
default behaviour to be like the pseudocode's in the warm-standby
documentation. To me, it's kind of unexpected that it won't continue
restoring if the trigger file is present (as Kevin said, what's the use
case for the current behaviour?).
