This is probably just a documentation issue.

There were some changes recently to how we documented editing postgresql.conf between versions.

Can you make sure that the values in [1] have been properly set on all postgres servers?

Comment 6 Nick Carboni 2017-03-01 16:34:26 UTC 
I'm going to close this as NOTABUG. We were not able to reproduce the issue and there has been no activity for a week after a fix was suggested.
