Ooh.

If you SELECT FOR UPDATE a tuple in 9.2, bit 0x0040 gets set in
infomask, and nothing else.  If you pg_upgrade and later try to freeze
such a tuple, it will fail with the error reported.

The correct test to use is HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY, which also tests
for the above condition.

I will verify this theory and push a patch shortly, if it proves
correct.
