is this wrong of me to expect that postgres would not make a wal file
available to archive_command unless it was completely ready to let go of
that wal file?
thanks,

The archive command tests if the wal segment exists and is a file,
but it does not check if the file is still being written. You need to
copy the file after writing has finished (it reached 16777216 bytes).
I don't have sources of pg_standby near me, but I remember in the
C code checks for complete segment sizes.
