Hmm, that looks like "by design" behavior. Slot acquiring will throw
error if the slot is already used by somebody else (slots use their own
locking mechanism that does not wait). In this case it seems the
walsender which was using slot for previous previous step didn't finish
releasing the slot by the time we start new command. We can work around
this by changing the test to wait perhaps.
