I guess everybody who might take an interest in this is out sailing...
After further reflection I've realized that, while this is a new bug in
9.2, it is not really a regression from 9.1. The failure only occurs if
pg_ctl is pointed at a configuration-only directory (one that contains
postgresql.conf but is not the real data directory). But that is a case
that did not work at all in any previous release, so no users will be
relying on it.
Accordingly, I don't think this is a release-blocker, so I'm going to
move it to the non-blocker section of the open-items page.
Anybody who wants to fix it is surely welcome to, but I'm not going
to consider this item as a reason to postpone RC1.
I'm not sure what you want done. I can test Amit's patch in a couple of
Windows environments (say XP+mingw and W7+MSVC) if that's what you need.
