Perhaps right. During not hot standby, there is no backend which the startup process should send invalidation message to in the standby. So, ISTM we don't need to log invalidation message when wal_level is not hot_standby. The fix looks pretty simple (see attached), although I don't have any clear idea how to test it. I guess the question is whether we should back-patch this to 9.0. It isn't technically necessary for correctness, but the whole point of introducing the wal_level GUC was to insulate people not running Hot Standby from possible bugs in the Hot Standby code, as well as to avoid unnecessary WAL bloat, so on balance I'm inclined to think we should go ahead and back-patch it.

It appears to me that RecordTransactionCommit() only needs to WAL-log shared invalidation messages when wal_level is hot_standby, but I don't see a guard to prevent it from doing it in all cases.
