Repository>>continuousRestoreFromArchiveLogs: does not work on extent copy

Documentation in the System Administration Guide presents two approaches to initially configuring a slave system for hot standby:

1.  Take extent copies of the primary, copy these to the slave system, and startstone -R -N before executing #continuousRestoreFromArchiveLogs:.

2.  Take a fullBackup of the primary, copy the backup file(s) to the slave system, and restore the backup on the slave before executing #continuousRestoreFromArchiveLogs:.

For now, the first approach does does not work:  the #continuousRestoreFromArchiveLogs: returns the expected output message and error (4048), but tranlogs *will not* be getting replayed as expected.

Workaround

Start the slave system with an out-of-box extent0.dbf and restore a full backup from the primary before executing #continuousRestoreFromArchiveLogs:
