Hi for the sake of answering here : 
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/48a32f45-57f2-4560-ae94-3488b3568c8a%40cloud.gatewaynet.com 
(although I didn't find anything indicating any hope for any change 
regarding my deadlock), it seems I am unable to binary upgrade from 
18beta1 to 18beta3 the traditional easy way between minor releases. 
After : make install , it gives

postgres@smadevnu:~ % pg_ctl -D data restart
waiting for server to shut down...... done
server stopped

Examine the log output.

Is the catalog version indeed different between 18beta1 and 18beta3 ?

Yes, that is correct, you will need to do a migration. Postgres only
guarantees catalog stability after the first stable release (but usually
at least the release candidates no longer change the catalog).
