You must only have the install user defined in the new cluster.  Either
they are not defiend, or a second user is also defined.  If you execute
'SELECT * from pg_authid' in the new cluster, I think you will see the
problem.  Our C comments say:

     *  We only allow the install user in the new cluster because other
     *  defined users might match users defined in the old cluster and
     *  generate an error during pg_dump restore.

Let me know what you find in case I can improve the error message.
