FWIW, I tried and failed to reproduce this problem. I don't see any
segfault, nor does running pg_basebackup under Valgrind report any
invalid accesses. Perhaps it's dependent on the contents of the
source installation? (My test was with v11's core regression database
and not much else.)
It's going to be hard to convince people that we should change
anything if we can't duplicate the problem, so I'd suggest working
harder to make a self-contained reproducer.
