Lastly, it breaks the new pg_basebackup -R

AFAIK pg_basebackup doesn't backup files not in the data directory and
tablespace dirs.
Imagine that you have set recovery_config_directory='/foo/' in the
master server. Now you want to set up a standby, so you do:'
pg_basebackup -D data-standby -R
With the -R option, pg_basebackup creates data-standby/recovery.conf to
point to the master, with standby_mode='on'. But if you start the
server, it will start up as a master, not as a standby, because
recovery_config_directory points elsewhere.
