I didn't include this fix in the patch because I prefer FATAL to
NOTICE for that.
NOTICE doesn't stop recovery. So we might be unable to notice such a NOTICE
message and stop the recovery before it's too late, i.e., the recovery has
completed at the undesirable point. So I think that emitting FATAL is safer.
