I'm still confused. I've now tried this in both HEAD and 9.1 branch
tip, and I do not see any misbehavior. If I set recovery_target_time to
before the pg_stop_backup time, I get "FATAL: requested recovery stop
point is before consistent recovery point" which is what I expect; and
if I set it to after the pg_stop_backup time, it starts up as expected.
So if there's a remaining unfixed bug here, I don't understand what
that is.
