TBH, it has never been more than the shakiest of assumptions that the new
version could not create toast tables where the old one hadn't.  I think
you should just allow for that case, independently of specific PG
versions.  Fortunately it seems easy enough, since you certainly don't
need to put any data into the new toast tables.
