If the archiver is working, but has fallen behind at the point of

Yes, it archives all pending WAL segments before exiting.
I don't think it does, please look again.
Still looks ok to me. pgarch_ArchiverCopyLoop() loops until all ready
WAL segments have been archived (assuming no errors).
Ok, we're good then I guess.
No, because as I said, if archive_command has been returning non-zero
then the archive will be incomplete.
Yes. You think that's wrong? How would you like it to behave, then? I
don't think you want the shutdown to wait indefinitely until all files
have been archived if there's an error.
