ERROR or FATAL would mean that the postmaster itself was about to
terminate, which is not the case here. We can't do anything different
than LOG; that's actually the "most severe" non-terminating log level
available to a background process.

It is a bit bogus that there's no SQLSTATE assigned, perhaps.
