If you see the note in this commit. It says without the timeline
history file, so does it trying to say that although receiveTLI is the
ancestor of recovoryTargetTLI, it can not detect that because of the
absence of the TL.history file ?

Without the timeline history file, recovering that file
will fail as the older timeline ID is not recognized to be an ancestor of
the target timeline. If you try to recover from such a backup, using only
streaming replication to fetch the WAL, this patch is required for that to
work.

I think this fix looks better to me, but I will think more about it
and give my feedback. Thanks for quickly coming up with the
reproducible test case.
