I think this is to be expected given that the backend code initializes
the TLS connection before it looks at anything in pg_hba.conf. The TLS
connection setup is done when calling BackendInitialize() which happens
very early in the life of a backend.

I am not familiar enough with this part of the code to know if there is
a reasonable way to fix this.
