That's from 010_pg_basebackup... And I am not sure what's behind that.
Could it be possible to add --verbose to the commands of
pg_basebackup? We may be able to catch the problem if it shows up
again.

Ah, yes, and that's a stupid mistake. We had better use
replay_location instead of write_location. There is a risk that
records have not been replayed yet even if they have been written on
the standby, so it is possible that the query looking at tab_int may
not see this relation.
