I am seeing similar issues with master at 88228e6.
This is easily reproducible by setting up 2 slaves under a master, then
kill the master. Promote slave 1 and  reconnect slave 2 to slave 1, then
you will notice that the timeline jump is not done.

I don't know if Masao tried to put in sync the slave that reconnects to the
promoted slave, but in this case slave2 stucks in "potential" state". That
is due to timeline that has not changed on slave2 but better to let you
know...

The replication delays are still here.
