OK, good to know.  This is the query pg_upgrade 9.2 uses to pull
information from 9.1 and 9.2:

	SELECT c.oid, n.nspname, c.relname,  c.relfilenode, c.reltablespace, t.spclocation 
	FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON c.relnamespace = n.oid   
		LEFT OUTER JOIN pg_catalog.pg_tablespace t ON c.reltablespace = t.oid 
	WHERE relkind IN ('r','t', 'i', 'S') AND
		((n.nspname !~ '^pg_temp_' AND
		  n.nspname !~ '^pg_toast_temp_' AND 
		  n.nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema', 'binary_upgrade') AND
		  c.oid >= 16384
		 )   
		 OR 
		 (n.nspname = 'pg_catalog' AND
		  relname IN
		  ('pg_largeobject', 'pg_largeobject_loid_pn_index', 'pg_largeobject_metadata', 'pg_largeobject_metadata_oid_index') 
		 )
		)
	ORDER BY 1;

Based on the fact that sql_features exists in the information_schema
schema, I don't think 'sql_features' table is actually being processed
by pg_upgrade, but I think its TOAST table, because it has a high oid,
is being processed because it is in the pg_toast schema.  This is
causing the mismatch between the old and new clusters.

I am thinking this query needs to be split apart into a UNION where the
second part handles TOAST tables and looks at the schema of the _owner_
of the TOAST table.  Needs to be backpatched too.
