I just realized that this thread was where that work was first
discussed. That explains why it took a year to discover that we broke
8.4!
On further reflection I think that breaking pg_upgrade for 8.4 might
have been a good thing. The issue was fairly visible and obvious if
you actually ran into it, which is vastly preferable to what would
have happened before commit 74cf7d46.
