Looking into this, I realized that we have a bigger problem related to
this. Although streaming replication stores the streamed WAL files in
pg_xlog, so that they can be re-replayed after a standby restart without
connecting to the master, we don't try to replay those either. So if you
restart standby, it will fail to start up if the WAL it needs can't be
found in archive or by connecting to the master. That must be fixed.
I'd imagine that the ability to restore WAL files manually copied to
pg_xlog will fall out of that fix too.
