Thanks for your report and patch.

Let me give some background on pg_upgrade to explain what is happening. 
Pg_upgrade uses two C arrays to store information about tables and
indexes for the old and new clusters.  It is not possible to store this
information in a database because both clusters are down when pg_upgrade
needs to use this information.

In pre-9.1 pg_upgrade, pg_upgrade did a sequential scan of the arrays
looking for a match between old and new cluster objects.  This was
reported as slow for databases with many objects, and I could reproduce
the slowness.  I added some caching in 9.0 but the real solution for 9.1
was to assume a one-to-one mapping between the old and new C arrays,
i.e. the 5th entry in the old cluster array is the same as the 5th
element in the new cluster array.

I knew this was risky but was the right solution so it doesn't surprise
me you found a failure.  pg_upgrade checks that the size of the two
arrays in the same and also checks that each element matches --- the
former is what generated your error.

Now, about the cause.  I had not anticipated that orphaned temp objects
could exist in either cluster.  In fact, this case would have generated
an error in 9.0 as well, but with a different error message.

Looking futher, pg_upgrade has to use the same object filter as
pg_dump, and pg_dump uses this C test:

        pg_dump.c:      else if (strncmp(nsinfo->dobj.name, "pg_", 3) == 0 ||

pg_dumpall uses this filter:

        "WHERE spcname !~ '^pg_' "

The problem is that the filter used by pg_upgrade only excluded
pg_catalog, not pg_temp* as well.

I have developed the attached two patches, one for 9.0, and the second
for 9.1 and 9.2 which will make pg_upgrade now match the pg_dump
filtering and produce proper results for orphaned temp tables by
filtering them.

As far as unlogged tables, those are dumped by 9.1/9.2, so there is no
need to check relpersistence in this patch.  pg_dump doesn't check
relistemp either.
