Why don't we improve the code, instead? In particular make libpqrcv_connect() do - snprintf(conninfo_repl, sizeof(conninfo_repl), "%s replication=true", conninfo); + snprintf(conninfo_repl, sizeof(conninfo_repl), "%s database=replication replication=true", conninfo); I don't think it's unlikely that someone would try to enter a replication-specific password into ~/.pgpass.
+1. It's highly likely - that's how we got here in the first place. It seems to me like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
