Ah, my bad, with a fresh mind and coffee the error message makes it
clear and of course it did reset the summaries properly.
While we are at it, maybe around the below in PrepareForIncrementalBackup()
if (tlep[i] == NULL)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE),
errmsg("timeline %u found in
manifest, but not in this server's history",
range->tli)));
we could add
errhint("You might need to start a new full backup instead of
incremental one")

Great, I cannot get it to fail again today, it had to be some dirty
state of the testing env. BTW: Thomas has pushed that ubsan fix.
