Sorry, I thought of something wrong, please ignore the above comment.

I was thinking about the place to set the errcallback.callback.

apply_dispatch(StringInfo s)
 {
 	LogicalRepMsgType action = pq_getmsgbyte(s);
+	ErrorContextCallback errcallback;
+	bool		set_callback = false;
+
+	/*
+	 * Push apply error context callback if not yet. Other fields will be
+	 * filled during applying the change.  Since this function can be called
+	 * recursively when applying spooled changes, we set the callback only
+	 * once.
+	 */
+	if (apply_error_callback_arg.command == 0)
+	{
+		errcallback.callback = apply_error_callback;
+		errcallback.previous = error_context_stack;
+		error_context_stack = &errcallback;
+		set_callback = true;
+	}
...
+	/* Pop the error context stack */
+	if (set_callback)
+		error_context_stack = errcallback.previous;

It seems we can put the above code in the function LogicalRepApplyLoop()
around invoking apply_dispatch(), and in that approach we don't need to worry
about the recursively case. What do you think ?
