I have added a test case that exercises this kind of scenario to CVS HEAD:
<http://lists.slony.info/pipermail/slony1-commit/2007-September/002012.html>
<http://lists.slony.info/pipermail/slony1-commit/2007-September/002013.html>

The test is called "testmultipaths."

We'll be able to readily measure when the problem is repaired.

I don't believe that this kind of case has ever worked, but it's
definitely a bad thing that it doesn't.
