I don't know the particular product that made you experience these troubles,
but it could be on purpose (if it relies on consuming the WAL continuously,
like a proper streaming replication slave/secondary would, and expectes to be
able to continue working where it left off before terminating) - or it could
be a rather dangerous usability hurdle that should, at the very least, be
clearly documented.
