If you do a vacuum on the master, do you get the same warnings?

/me runs VACUUM VERBOSE on the two tables that would matter.

Nope. What worries me is, that since I have a verified case of rsync thinking it had successfully transferred a WAL, the same may have happened with these files during the base backup. Does that warning, in fact, entail that there were catalog entries for those files, but that the file was not there, and by "fixing" it the server just created empty files?
