Uh, I can reproduce this failure.  :-(

I tested it by installing earchdistance (and cube) and an index using an
earchdistance function in the old cluster and ran pg_upgrade.  I used
the instructions in the referenced email:

	CREATE TABLE zip_code_geo_poly_data (
	    id serial   NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
	    zip_code    TEXT,
	    latitude    NUMERIC,
	    longitude   NUMERIC
	);
	
	CREATE INDEX zip_code_geo_poly_data_ll_to_earth 
	ON zip_code_geo_poly_data 
	USING gist(ll_to_earth(latitude, longitude));

The failure is actually in pg_dump/restore, but pg_upgrade relies on
that, so it fails too.  The failure output is:

	LINE 1: ...ians($1))*sin(radians($2))),earth()*sin(radians($1)))::earth
	                                                                  ^
	QUERY:  SELECT cube(cube(cube(earth()*cos(radians($1))*cos(radians($2))),earth()*cos(radians($1))*sin(radians($2))),earth()*sin(radians($1)))::earth
	CONTEXT:  SQL function "ll_to_earth" during inlining
	    Command was:
	-- For binary upgrade, must preserve pg_class oids
	SELECT pg_catalog.binary_upgrade_set_next_index_pg_class_oid('16498'::pg_catalog.oid);
	
	CREATE INDEX "zip_code_geo_poly_data_ll_to_earth" ON "public"."zip_code_geo_poly_data" USING "gist" ("public"."ll_to_earth"(("latitude")::double precision, ("longitude")::double precision));

The function definition of ll_to_earth() is (as defined in
earthdistance--1.1.sql):

	CREATE FUNCTION ll_to_earth(float8, float8)
	RETURNS earth
	LANGUAGE SQL
	IMMUTABLE STRICT
	PARALLEL SAFE
	AS 'SELECT cube(cube(cube(earth()*cos(radians($1))*cos(radians($2))),earth()*cos(radians($1))*sin(radians($2))),earth()*sin(radians($1)))::earth';

As you can see, the SQL function is doing a cast to ::earth, but in this
test case the earth cast is stored in the public schema, and the restore
doesn't reference it.

I am not sure we can fix this without requiring people to drop and
recreate such indexes.  However, I am even at a loss in how to fix the
CREATE FUNCTION to reference a cast in the same schema as the function,
in this case 'public'.  We can rewrite the cast to not use :: and use a
function call with schema qualification. e.g. public.earth(), but how do
we know what schema that is in, i.e. what if the extension is loaded
into a schema other than public?  

FYI, earthdistance is certainly not the only case of this problem.  

This is also part of a larger problem with our new schema qualification
approach.  While we are qualifying where the object is to be created, we
are not always qualifying the object's contents, i.e. in this case, the
SQL function body.
