I *think* that pg_isready would also fail, because the documentation
says "pg_isready returns 0 to the shell if the server is accepting
connections normally, 1 if the server is rejecting connections (for
example during startup) ..." and I believe the "during startup" case
would apply here.

Starting postmaster directly is a thought. Is there any existing
precedent for that approach?
