This is a poke about a recent issue raised by Michael Banck here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/f1543332405.17247.9.camel@credativ.de
And for which I am suggesting a minimal fix, which is extracted from a
patch at the most-top of this thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20181127213625.GM1716@paquier.xyz

If there are no objections, I would like to fix the actual issue.  Then
I'll rebase a patch on top of what has been fixed for this thread for
what I proposed in the base backup code.
