Overall, the patch seems reasonable to me.

+        case DB_IN_END_OF_RECOVERY_CHECKPOINT:
+            ereport(LOG,
+                    (errmsg("database system was interrupted while in end-of-recovery checkpoint at %s",
+                            str_time(ControlFile->time))));
+            break;

I noticed that some (but not all) of the surrounding messages say
"last known up at" the control file time.  I'm curious why you chose
not to use that phrasing in this case.
