Committed, thanks for the testing.

When you start hot standby from an online checkpoint, the XIDs of any
two-phase transactions are included in the running-xacts record, just
like any other in-progress transactions. At a shutdown checkpoint, we
know that no regular transactions are in-progress, but there can be
transactions in prepared state, which need to be considered as
in-progress in the standby, but there's no information about them in the
shutdown record. So we scan pg_twophase to discover them.
