Gack. The problem was that postgresql.conf was sending information to
the syslog only. postmaster continues to write quite a few messages to
the terminal even when syslog is set as the log destination (the log
level was set to be quite verbose), and I never tipped myself off to
the fact that I'd have to check elsewhere to see the whole story.

My bad.
