That's a symptom that the second node already selected timeline 2, my
first guess is that the restore_command for the second node recovered
failed to get 00000002.history because it may have been set
incorrectly.

I am not able to see any problems with neither 9.5 nor HEAD, when
recovering the second node in your scenario, it fetches correctly
00000002.history from the archive in my case and the node is able to
select the timeline 3 when recovery is pointing to select the latest
timeline.
