The correct steps are as follows:

Publisher:

postgres=# CREATE TABLE tab_rep (a int primary key);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# INSERT INTO tab_rep SELECT generate_series(1,1000000);
INSERT 0 1000000
postgres=# CREATE PUBLICATION tap_pub FOR ALL TABLES;
CREATE PUBLICATION

Subscriber:
postgres=# CREATE TABLE tab_rep (a int primary key);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub CONNECTION 'host=localhost
dbname=postgres port=6972' PUBLICATION tap_pub WITH (enabled = false);
NOTICE: created replication slot "tap_sub" on publisher
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
postgres=# ALTER SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub enable;
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION

Allow the tablesync to complete and then drop the subscription, the
table remains full and restarting the subscription should fail with a
constraint violation during tablesync but it does not.

Subscriber:
postgres=# drop subscription tap_sub ;
NOTICE: dropped replication slot "tap_sub" on publisher
DROP SUBSCRIPTION
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub CONNECTION 'host=localhost
dbname=postgres port=6972' PUBLICATION tap_pub WITH (enabled = false);
NOTICE: created replication slot "tap_sub" on publisher
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
postgres=# ALTER SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub enable;
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION

This takes the subscriber into an error loop but no mention of what
the error was:
