As long as you're changing the source code, it'd be a good idea to
verify the supposition that kill() is failing, eg
in src/backend/commands/async.c

                        if (kill(listenerPID, SIGUSR2) < 0)
                        {
+                               elog(LOG, "kill(%d) failed: %m", listenerPID);
                                /*
                                 * Get rid of pg_listener entry if it refers to 
a PID that no
                                 * longer exists.  Presumably, that backend 
crashed without
                                 * deleting its pg_listener entries. This code 
used to only


If that's right, sprinkling a few debug printouts into src/port/kill.c
would be the next step.
