I reproduced here with force_parallel_mode=regress, and indeed what is
happening is that log.rep. subscription walsenders (???) are running
queries per commands/subscriptioncmds.c::fetch_table_list(), and under
that GUC they beget parallel workers; and because the parent has
am_walsender=true then they pass a timestamp of 0 to the children; but
the children retain am_walsender=false, so the assertion fires.
I didn't spend more time on that, but it seems strange and possibly
dangerous, since am_walsender is used to implement some restrictions.
