Thanks for the report and patch! LGTM. Barring any objections, I'll commit it.

BTW, I also wonder if the following description in the Environment section was
copied from elsewhere and is incorrect. AFAIK, pg_combinebackup neither uses
nor links against libpq. Should we remove it? Or am I missing something?

This utility, like most other PostgreSQL utilities, uses the environment
variables supported by libpq (see Section 32.14).
