WAL_LOG does a scan of the template's pg_class to determine the set of
relations that need to be copied from a template database to the new
one. However, as coded in 9c08aea, this copy strategy would load the
pages of pg_class without considering it as a permanent relation,
causing the loaded pages to never be flushed when they should. Any
modification of the template's pg_class, mostly through DDLs, would then
be missed, causing corruptions.
STRATEGY = WAL_LOG is the default over FILE_COPY since it has been
introduced, so any changes done to pg_class on a database template would
be gone. Updates of database templates should be a rare thing, so the
impact of this bug should be hopefully limited. The pre-14 default
strategy FILE_COPY is safe, and can be used as a workaround.
Ryo Matsumura has found and analyzed the issue, and Nathan has written a
test able to reproduce the failure (with few tweaks from me).
Backpatch down to 15, where STRATEGY = WAL_LOG has been introduced.
