Bingo, this is exactly where I expected it to fail. I am attaching a
new, applied patch that creates files pg_upgrade_server_start.log and
pg_upgrade_server_stop.log to log the pg_ctl start/stop stdout
seperately. This should fix the error. Thanks so much for testing. I
believe someone will generate a new binary for testing.

Yep, I think we are good now. I never expected this behavior, but it
now makes sense.
