Well, buggers.  That was it.

The usage of backup_label is not clearly documented in the manual, I will submitted a user comment on the 23.3 page of the 8.2 manual.

After ensuring backup_label is present, the recovery proceeded from the correct point.

Thanks for your help in tracking this down. I believe we can safely say this is NOT a bug, and close this thread.
