Uh, this connects to both old and new servers, so I am confused why it
later fails.

This is using /tmp because the old server is pre-9.1; it would normally
use the current directory for the socket file. Are you perhaps using a
non-standard setting? Our docs say:
If using a pre-9.1 old server that is using a non-default Unix-domain
socket directory or a default that differs from the default of the
new cluster, set <envar>PGHOST</> to point to the old server's socket
location. (This is not relevant on Windows.)
Does that help? Did you use a different environment for the check and
non-check phases?
