Done and done. I also realized that pg_upgrade had another nasty bug
in it: the VACUUMs were not necessarily executed as superuser, but as
whichever user happened to own the item dumped last by pg_dump in each
database. That would result in VACUUM skipping over tables it thought
it didn't have permission to vacuum --- like, say, all the system
tables. Perhaps this explains the failures that some people have
reported.

Another day, another bug swatted ...
