Uhh ... I had never heard of this "replication checkpoint" thing.  It is
part of replication origins feature, which is fairly new stuff (see
src/backend/replication/logical/origin.c).  I'd bet this problem is
related to a bug in logical replication "origins" code rather than any
procedural problems in your base-backup taking setup ...

I wonder if there is some truncation of the 0x1257DADE value that
produces the 5714534 value you're seeing -- something related to a
pg_logical/replorigin_checkpoint file being written partially while the
backup is being taken.

Another point towards not including pg_logical/ contents when taking a
base backup, I guess ...
