There has unfortunately been several bugs with similar looking symptoms
lately. This looks like the bug reported here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAL_0b1s4QCkFy_55kk_8XWcJPs7wsgVWf8vn4=jXe6V4R7Hxmg@mail.gmail.com.
That was fixed only recently, and the fix isn't included in 9.3.2 yet.
It will be included in 9.3.3, which is scheduled for next week.
As a work-around, recovery should be able to get past that point if you
disable hot standby. Once it's recovered past that point, and past the
next checkpoint, you can re-enable hot standby and restart.
