I feel such a LOG would be useful.

+ ereport(LOG,
+ errmsg("waiting for remote slot \"%s\" LSN (%X/%X) and catalog xmin"
+ " (%u) to pass local slot LSN (%X/%X) and catalog xmin (%u)",

I think waiting is a bit misleading here, how about something like:
"could not sync slot information as remote slot precedes local slot:
remote slot \"%s\": LSN (%X/%X), catalog xmin (%u) local slot: LSN
(%X/%X), catalog xmin (%u)"
