Would it help to have the postmaster report what the shared memory
allocation is when it starts up? (this won't help with the activity
stuff, but at least you would know for sure how *much* you have to use).

That would be of no use ... I am quite sure that PostgreSQL allocates the memory as specified; that is: as much as is written in 
postgresql.conf. 

The interesting part is usage of shared memory through the workload.
