I think I also have this issue, but with 9.2.13, today I see dozens of
waiting requests at standby
(via pgadmin Tools-Server Status). All of it is waiting for PID 48205,
it is startup process:
48205 ?        Ss   6289:29 postgres: startup process   recovering
0000001000024C5E000000DF waiting

and startup process hold AccessExclusiveLock for table:
 'virtualxid' <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> <NULL> '1/1' <NULL> <NULL> <NULL>
<NULL> '1/0' 48205 'ExclusiveLock' t t
'relation' 16444 16993 <NULL> <NULL> '<NULL>' <NULL> <NULL> <NULL>
<NULL> '1/0' 48205 'AccessExclusiveLock' t f

I have 'ALTER tblname RENAME xxx TO yyy' at master, before this lock.

And I am using recovery command, without streaming replication.
