    Hands off - this is my bug :-)

    Add a 

    mv $PGDATA/base/template1/xpg_user $PGDATA/base/template1/pg_user

    after the UPDATE pg_class renaming xpg_user to pg_user in initdb.

    But this showed up another FEATURE! If you remove a tables file,
    the next time it is accessed it is recreated empty! I think this
    is not right, because after a system crash, a database file (I
    know, very unlikely) could reside in lost+found. It's IMHO not
    good to assume the table is empty and recreate the file silent.
