I'm surprised that not a single message was logged at PANIC, even though it's
defined to mean:

| PANIC Reports an error that caused all database sessions to abort.

Is it intended ?

The backend you killed didn't get a chance to log anything.

Or to put it another way: a PANIC ereport is the trigger for a database
restart, not a response to some other event that has triggered one.
