One more comment:
+static void
+apply_handle_message(StringInfo s)
+{
+ LogicalRepMessageData msg;
+
+ /* Tablesync worker should never receive MESSAGE */
+ if (am_tablesync_worker())
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ errcode(ERRCODE_PROTOCOL_VIOLATION),
+ errmsg_internal("tablesync worker received a MESSAGE message"));

I think we should have a similar ERROR for parallel apply worker. I
don't think this message can reach there but we should protect it like
above.
