More generally, though, I wonder how we can have some test coverage

I suggest a buildfarm animal running a custom buildfarm module that
exercises the pg_upgrade test from every supported version to the
latest
stable and to master -- together with your proposed case that leaves a
toastless table around for pg_upgrade to handle.
That would help greatly with pg_dump test coverage as well.. One of the
problems of trying to get good LOC coverage of pg_dump is that a *lot*
of the code is version-specific...
I have an module that does it, although it's not really stable enough.
But it's a big start.
See
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/blob/master/PGBuild/Modules/TestUpgradeXversion.pm>
Incidentally, just as a warning for anyone trying, this uses up a quite
a lot of disk space.
You would need several GB available.
