No.  They are FATAL so far as the individual session is concerned.
Possibly some documentation effort is needed here, but I don't think
any change in the code behavior would be an improvement.

You are suggesting that we should add a note like "Don't worry about the
following message.  This is a result of normal connectivity checking", don't
you?

FATAL:  the database system is starting up

Uh. An explanation why you cannot connect to the database hardly seems
like a superflous log message.

It is when *you* are not actually trying to connect but rather pg_ctl is (which 
is one of the use cases here).

Arguably 1-3 are inaccurate since they're not really about a backend dying... 
they occur during the startup phase; you never even get a functioning backend. 
That's a marked difference from other uses of FATAL.
