OK, can you go through the reasons why pg_stop_backup would not
complete? And why it's a problem to have it complete? I'll admit to
not understanding them; it seems to me that pg_stop_backup should just
immediately force a checkpoint and a log write, but you're obviously
trying to prevent something with the current behavior. What are you
trying to prevent?
