Wow, 8.3 --- that is old. Please do psql \d on those two tables and
show us the output. System tables are created by pg_upgrade as fresh,
not copied from the old cluster, so I am confused how you have reg*
entries in there.

Also, I wonder if there are pg_ts_dict and pg_ts_parser tables that are
not in pg_catalog, but in some other schema, and those are what is
complaining about. (The pg_upgrade query specifically skips checking
pg_catalog tables.)

I think maybe pg_upgrade should always output the schema name for such
objects --- I think someone propsed a patch for that recently.
