But do you really want to keep that snapshot around long enough to copy the entire database? I bet you don't: if the database is big, holding back xmin for long enough to copy the whole thing isn't likely to be fun.
I can confirm that this would be epic fail, at least for londiste. It takes about 3 weeks for a new copy of a ~2TB database. There's no way that'd work with one snapshot.
