But do earlier server versions accept a value of 3? The 8.4 docs say

That is the other thing I had to hack --- the 8.4 backend version had to
be changed to accept '3'. The good thing is this has to be done only
once --- once I have the dump file, I can use it in testing repeatedly
because 8.4 does not change.
Eventually the idea would be to have the build farm run such tests (with
a properly created dump file) so we can learn quickly if the backend
data format is changed.
If we're thinking of doing that, it would be better to back-patch the
change that allowed '3'.
Yeah.
It's going to require some fancy dancing to get the buildfarm to do it.
Each buildfarm run is for a specific branch, and all the built artefacts
are normally thrown away. I'd have to work out a way of stashing the
binaries from a build on one branch for use in the pg_upgrade tests in
the run on another branch. It's doable but could get messy.
