you can make this happen more easily, i just run "pgbench -n -c10 -j10
test" and qot that warning and sometimes a segmentation fault and
sometimes a failed assertion

and the problematic code starts at
src/backend/replication/syncrep.c:277, here my suggestions on that
code.
still i get a failed assertion because of the second Assert (i think
we should just remove that one)

*************** SyncRepRemoveFromQueue(void)
*** 288,299 ****

if (proc->lwWaitLink == NULL)
elog(WARNING, "could not locate
ourselves on wait queue");
! proc = proc->lwWaitLink;
}

if (proc->lwWaitLink == NULL) /* At tail */
{
! Assert(proc == MyProc);
/* Remove ourselves from tail of queue */
Assert(queue->tail == MyProc);
queue->tail = proc;
--- 288,300 ----

if (proc->lwWaitLink == NULL)
elog(WARNING, "could not locate
ourselves on wait queue");
! else
! proc = proc->lwWaitLink;
}

if (proc->lwWaitLink == NULL) /* At tail */
{
! Assert(proc != MyProc);
/* Remove ourselves from tail of queue */
Assert(queue->tail == MyProc);
queue->tail = proc;
