Thanks for the report and patch!

Attached is an updated patch that retains your fix, makes minor naming and
comment changes, and adds a TAP test. The test truncates a table before
promoting a standby, re-extends it afterward, and verifies the restored data.
Using different timelines makes the test independent of directory
enumeration order.

Seems this should be backpatched to v17.
