It looks like you're running bdr_group_create from the 'postgres' database, but you're specifying the dbname 'prod' as the database that you're creating the bdr group for.
You should CREATE EXTENSION bdr; in the 'prod' database and run bdr.bdr_group_create while connected to 'prod'.
The documentation should be more explicit about the fact that the management commands affect the database they are run in.
Thanks for writing a clear and detailed report with errors, versions, and command shown. It's much appreciated.
