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.
