Okay. I have worked on that today, did more manual tests, and applied
this fix down to 13. The cherry-pick from 14 to 13 only required a
s/$master/$primary/ in the test, which was straight-forward. Your
patch for 13 did that though:
- if (starttli != entry->tli)
+ if (!XLogRecPtrIsInvalid(entry->begin))

So it would have caused a failure with parent TLIs that have a correct
begin location, but we expect the opposite. The patch for 14/HEAD had
that right.
