What this smells like is a bug in the pg_dump --binary_upgrade logic that
tries to preserve type OIDs from the old installation to the new one.
Is there a preceding CREATE TYPE command for st_envelope in the dump
script?  Look for calls to binary_upgrade.set_next_pg_type_oid() and
binary_upgrade.set_next_array_pg_type_oid() in the dump script --- are
there conflicting entries?  Also, exactly what is type 1407909 in the
old installation (try "select * from pg_type where oid = 1407909")?

I think that's pilot error: you forgot to clean out tablespace directories
along with the main data directory.
