FWIW, deleting the files from pg_twophase is safe when the system is shut down.

Is it safe for the PREPAREd TRANSACTIONs?  I assume not.  That is, in
Peter's presumably experimental case, it might be ok to delete the
files, but on a production system, you'd violate the semantics of 2PC
by doing this?

It's effectively the same as manually issuing a ROLLBACK PREPARED. It will brake the atomicity of the global transaction, if some branches of that global transaction in other resource managers have already been committed.
