Thanks for doing so.

But the actual deal is that the sequence meta-data is now in
pg_sequences and not the init forks, no? I have just done a small
test:
1) Some SQL queries:
create unlogged sequence popo;
alter sequence popo increment 2;
select nextval('popo');
select nextval('popo');
2) Then a hard crash:
pg_ctl stop -m immediate
pg_ctl start
3) Again, with a crash:
select nextval('popo');
