Yeah.  I think best bet may be to drop the problematic table(s),
as we've done for other de-supported DDL situations.  A quick
experiment suggests that

DROP TABLE gtest_normal_child;
DROP TABLE gtest_normal_child2;

should do it.

I can work on a better-tested patch for TestUpgradeXversion.pm, but
I have a couple other commitments today so it may take a bit of time.
