Why is it important to have the original pg_clog files around? Since the transactions in question are below the freeze horizon, surely the tuples that involve those transaction have all been visited by vacuum and thus removed if they were leftover from aborted transactions or deleted, no? So you could just fill those files with the 0x55 pattern (signalling "all transactions are committed") and the net result should be the same. No?
