No, if the backend is in RECV state, it's waiting for the client to
*send* it something.

(Although if this is an SSL connection, it's a bit harder to be sure
about what the logical state of the connection is.)

Not if the problem is the client is confused.  As long as the remote-end
kernel doesn't indicate the connection is dead, we'll wait for the
client to wake up and send us a command.
