Just to emphasize the non-conerish-ness of this problem, it should be mentioned that the HS issue was observed even with backups taken with pg_basebackup, if memory serves correctly.
Yes I personally can reliably reproduce both the clog+subtrans problems using pg_basebackup, and can confirm that the "oldestActiveXid_fixed.v2.patch" does resolve both issues.
