I'm deep in another issue which I don't want to page out right now, but
try vacuuming the tables that have relminmxid=1 with low values set for
vacuum_multixact_freeze_table_age and vacuum_multixact_freeze_min_age,
say 100000.  (I think 65536 ought to get you beyond segment
pg_multixact/offset/0000, and then that file would be removed.) Since
any multixact values below the point at which pg_upgrade ran should be
marked "no longer running" through hint bits, there would be no
pg_multixact lookups anyway and thus the vacuuming should complete with
no errors.
