Has anyone changed the database encoding by modifying the system
catalogs? That might cause the problem too.
Moving forward, I think you need to add a dummy column to each problem

you to do the upgrade. I could have pg_upgrade detect this problem, but
until I know the cause, I don't think that is wise.
