This is the backchannel, right?

It seems to me that this ought to be described more clearly as a
separate stream in the opposite direction, rather than looking like just
another record in the forward channel.

Does the back channel not also need some sort of negotiation phase where
we check both ends are compatible (i.e. like the forward channel's
header). This might be easier than with the forward channel since you
might assert that the versions must match exactly for COLO to be
possible, that might not be true of some potential future user of the
backchannel though.
