Hmm ... I suppose it's possible that that happens if the listening backend isn't executing any SQL commands but is just sitting. While that might describe your test harness, does it describe any real-world application?
Yes. It's a service which only does LISTEN and UNLISTEN and forwards notifications to its clients.
