Well, if the normal behavior results in changing the column order,
it'd be necessary to do things differently in --binary-upgrade mode
anyway, because there we *must* preserve column order. I don't know
if what you're describing represents a separate bug for pg_upgrade runs,
but it might. Is there any test case for the situation left behind by
the core regression tests?
