Command was: DROP DATABASE "template1";

Hm.  The restore should have issued a command to make template1 not be
a template database before dropping it.  Apparently it did not do so.
Looking at the code, a plausible theory for that is that template1
is not marked as a template database in the source cluster.  Did you
change that, and if so why?  It would have broken more things than
just pg_upgrade.
			

Template1 normally has an OID of 1, but this database has an apparent OID of 18344416. Maybe this has been the result of a previous upgrade - we don't have enough information. I don't think pg_upgrade attempts to preserve database OIDs.
