The file is overwritten at startup so there's no point in having it in a backup. Thus, it is deliberately excluded from a backup.
That is true and sensible, but it does seem to be contradicted by the documentation for 9.5. In later versions, they added "except certain temporary files managed by PostgreSQL". That addition seems to just be a correction of the docs, not something to reflect a change in actual behavior, at least in regards to postmaster.opts.
