pg_upgrade error on FreeBSD (9.1 -> 9.5)

Hi

I am trying to upgrade an exisitng Postgresql cluster from  9.1 to 9.5 on FreeBSD. pg_upgrade fails with the following error:
[Verbose Output: http://pastebin.com/YhR8vD03]

$ /usr/local/bin/pg_upgrade -k  -d /usr/local/pgsql/data91 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data --old-bindir=/var/tmp/pgbin.SPOsRj4D/bin --new-bindir=/usr/local/bin --check 

*failure*
Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_server.log" for
the probable cause of the failure.

pg_ctl failed to start the old server, or connection failed
Failure, exiting


$ cat pg_upgrade_server.log

On checking the process list, the old postgres server seems to have started, but I am unable to connect to it using psql.

        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.50432"?

If I run the pg_ctl command directly with just the minimum parameters, it still gives me an error, but seems to work correctly.
==
$ /var/tmp/pgbin.SPOsRj4D/bin/pg_ctl -o "-p 50432 " -w -l "pg_upgrade_server.log" -D "/usr/local/pgsql/data91"  start

Examine the log output.

$ cat pg_upgrade_server.log

$ psql -p 50432 -d template1
psql (9.5.5, server 9.1.20)
Type "help" for help.

Where am I going wrong?

Detailed steps that I followed for upgrade:

Since postgresql installed on FreeBSD through its ports/packages doesn't have version specific binaries or data directory till  PG 9.5 (9.6 does have version specific data directory), use of pg_upgrade requires a little bit of work:

i) Stopped the current PG 9.1 instance. Renamed the data directory to data91 (under /usr/local/pgsql).
ii) Installed PG 9.1 binaries in a different location (/var/tmp/pgbin.SPOsRj4D/bin). Set owner and permission for pgsql user(default superuser in FreeBSD)  
iii) Removed PG 9.1 installation from server & installed PG 9.5 in it's default location (under /usr/local/bin)
iv) Initiaized DB instance using initdb command (PG 9.5 data location is /usr/local/pgsql/data)
v) Ran the following command for upgrade check:
/usr/local/bin/pg_upgrade -k  -d /usr/local/pgsql/data91 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data --old-bindir=/var/tmp/pgbin.SPOsRj4D/bin --new-bindir=/usr/local/bin --check --verbose
