Oops, forgot to engage brain.
From pg_backup_archiver.c:
* In parallel restore, if we created the table earlier in
* this run (so that we know it is empty) and we are not
* restoring a load-via-partition-root data item then we
* wrap the COPY in a transaction and precede it with a
* TRUNCATE. If wal_level is set to minimal this prevents
* WAL-logging the COPY. This obtains a speedup similar
* to that from using single_txn mode in non-parallel
* restores.
*
* We mustn't do this for load-via-partition-root cases
* because some data might get moved across partition
* boundaries, risking deadlock and/or loss of previously
* loaded data. (We assume that all partitions of a
* partitioned table will be treated the same way.)

This makes sense. It creates the table earlier, and then truncates it just
before copying data into it. I wonder if this really circumvents the WAL
since I don't have --single-transaction (incompatible to -j).
