You do realize you're missing almost two years' worth of bug fixes?
The current release in that branch is 9.1.13, and a quick look through
the git history shows quite a number of replication-related fixes.
One that seems particularly notable in this connection is:
commit 16222f32ed56d3ebc4136133662d932299188955
Author: Simon Riggs <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Wake WALSender to reduce data loss at failover for async commit.
WALSender now woken up after each background flush by WALwriter, avoiding
multi-second replication delay for an all-async commit workload.
Replication delay reduced from 7s with default settings to 200ms, allowing
significantly reduced data loss at failover.

You wouldn't happen to be running with synchronous_commit off, would you?
Whether this is the explanation for your problem or not, it's really
irresponsible to still be running 9.1.4 at this point. There are several
known data-loss-inducing bugs in it that will eat your data sooner or later.
