I mixed up my email threads. I was following http://michael.otacoo.com/postgresql-2/postgres-9-4-feature-highlight-logical-replication-protocol/
Looking back at it now, I can see that it didn't use psql to call START_REPLICATION.

Which blogpost is that? At least this thread doesn't seem to contain a
reference.

START_REPLICATION over a replication connection is the streaming variant
of logical decoding. Unfortunately psql can't deal with that (and it
doesn't make sense to support it, as you need to send back feedback
messages and such). The SQL function Michael linked to are there for
easier accessibility, but don't support streaming. Other than that,
they're the same.
Hope that clears up things a bit?
