Beginning with commit 002c105a0706bd1c1e939fe0f47ecdceeae6c52d
pg_upgrade will fail if there are orphaned temp tables in the current
database with the message 'old and new databases "postgres" have a
different number of relations'

On line 41 of pg_upgrade/info.c pg_upgrade checks that the number of
relations are the same but includes orphaned temp tables in the comparison.

Is this expected behavior? If so is there a more detailed error message
that can be added explain the cause of the failure? It wasn't evident
until modified pg_upgrade to show the missing oid's and recognized them
as temp tables with oid2name.
