Actually it does which why you get the error, which by the way is the
same error depesz got in his demo:)

From your subsequent post:

CREATE SUBSCRIPTION ... WITH (enabled = false)

Did the above also have?:

copy_data = false

If not then you would copying over the data again and that would trigger
the duplicate key error.
