prairiedog just turned up a different issue in this area [1].
I wondered why it hadn't reported in for awhile, and upon
investigation I found that the test run was stuck in the
final pg_dump step of the pg_upgrade test. pg_dump itself
was waiting for a query result, while the connected backend
was sitting here:

It'd appear that we dropped an input-is-available condition.
Now prairiedog is running a museum-grade macOS release, so
it's hardly impossible that this is a kernel bug not a
Postgres bug. But we shouldn't jump to that conclusion,
either, given that our kevent support is so new.

The log shows a SIGABRT trap, but that's because I manually did "kill
-ABRT" to unblock the buildfarm animal.
