Nice catch!
Once the state enteres "paused" state no more WAL record is expected
to be replayed until exiting the state. I'm not sure but maybe we are
also expecting that the server promotes whthout a record replayed when
triggered while pausing. However, actually there's a chance for a
record to replayed before promotion. Of course it is existing
behavior but I'd like to make sure whether we deliberately allow that.
