Thanks for the report! This seems to be a bug. This problem happens when WAL record is stored in separate two WAL files and there is no valid latter WAL file in the standby. In your case, the former file is 0000000400004C4D00000090 and the latter is 0000000400004C4D00000091. In this case, the first half of WAL record can be read from the former WAL file, but the remaining half not because no valid latter file exists in the standby. Then the standby tries to retrieve the latter WAL file via replication. The problem here is that the standby tries to start the replication from the starting point of WAL record, i.e., that's the location of the former WAL file. So the already-read WAL file is requested via replication. To address this problem, maybe we can just use the location where the remaining half of WAL record starts from as the replication starting location. We would need to look at carefully the side effect of that change, though.
