There was another elog() making mingw unhappy, so here's a fix for that.

This should also fix an issue on the macOS machine. This is a thinko in
the tests, because wait_for_catchup() may not wait for all the sequence
increments after a rollback. The default mode is "write" which uses
pg_current_wal_lsn(), and that may be a bit stale after a rollback.
Doing a simple insert after the rollback fixes this (using other LSN,
like pg_current_wal_insert_lsn() would work too, but it'd cause long
waits in the test).
