Further work on this:
I bounced our “candidate” (aka recovery) server again (it was , and it immediately downloaded ALL oustanding WALs from S3 and began applying them. Then, (of course) the master wrote a few more. But these were not applied. They don’t make it into pg_xlog/archive_status
They WERE downloaded (they are in pg_xlog) — presumably by WAL-E, but NO note of them in log file!
Here is a snippet of log for timing:
