I'm back with more details.
First, I've deleted the smaller sslentry database, since I don't need
it, just so that it doesn't somehow spoil the picture. Now there is only
1 user database - bof (OID=16400). After that I've ran the pg_upgrade on
a clean 10.4 cluster and it failed in the same way.
Now, the answers to your queries.

strange as that is not showing up in the 9.6 cluster I presume. You
might want the queries found below on the 9.6 and 10 clusters to help
figure this out:

9.6 result - see attached 96-query1.txt
10.4 result - see attached 104-query1.txt
I should have been clearer in my previous post, the above query is per
database. From the query below I am going to say the above query was
done on the bof database. Is that correct?
Given the below from 96-query2.txt:
template0 | 110588398
Can you run the table_name query in template0 in the 9.6 cluster?

9.6 result - see attached 96-query2.txt
10.4 result - see attached 104-query2.txt

for the query - see above, for pg_controldata:
9.6 - see attached 96-pg_controldata.txt
10.4 - see attached 104-pg_controldata.txt

I'll be happy to, but that will require to run pg_upgrade once more and
that takes more that half a day and during this time clusters are not
available to me. Given the data I'm attaching it may happen that the
colleagues will want to see something else from my clusters or maybe
change some settings before running the pg_upgrade again. Therefore,
I'll wait 12 hours after this message in case there will be any more
requests and the I'll run the pg_upgrade again.
Thank you all for trying to solve this matter, this is much appreciated! :)

Well, what could it do otherwise? ForceTransactionIdLimitUpdate()
currently does a syscache check for database existence. That'll just
return a lookup failure for InvalidOid, so we're reasonably good on that
front.
Using a hardcoded 2000000000 seems worse, will have funny results if
running with a smaller autovacuum_freeze_max_age...

pg_upgrade starts the server with autovacuum disabled, I suspect
restoring all the large objects ends up using a lot of transaction
ids. GetNewTransactionId() should start autovacuum, but I'd guess that's
where things are going wrong for some reason.
Alexander, could you hack things up so autovacuum logging is enabled
(log_autovacuum_min_duration=0), and see whether it's triggered?
I'm not entirely clear why pg_restore appears to use a separate
transaction for each large object, surely exascerbating the problem.
