Hmm, are you sure it's 7.4.6 and has been 7.4.6 for the whole existence
of the data directory? This looks like a hint-bit-drop problem, which
I thought we had fixed the last of as of 7.4.6.

Apparently you've got hint-bit corruption in template1. I'd recommend a
fresh initdb. If you're desperate to avoid that because you have other
databases that aren't broken, you could reconstruct template1 from
template0 (see techdocs.postgresql.org for the procedural details).
