Yeah, I have been looking at that, too. I had also experimented a bit
with setuid/setgid for that matter, but that didn't lead anywhere, yet.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this would also not match my other
observation, that LD_LIBRARY_PATH does work for libpqwalreceiver (direct
dep), but not libpq (indirect dep).

To me, this seems very much like what could happen - it matches all my
observations, so far. But I can't tell how likely that is, not knowing
much of the postgres code.
Best,
