I think maybe I got the idea for parenthesis from these:
src/backend/tcop/postgres.c: set_ps_display("idle in transaction (aborted)");
src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c- if (port->remote_port[0] != '\0')
src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c- appendStringInfo(&ps_data, "(%s)", port->remote_port);

What about one of these?
"checkpointer: running end-of-recovery checkpoint"
"checkpointer running: end-of-recovery checkpoint"
Thanks for looking.
