Your 9.1 installation seems to have copies in the public schema of a bunch
of system views --- we can see three of them in this log excerpt, and I'm
betting there are more.  There is no mechanism that would automatically
update those copies to be correct for the new database version, and this
failure is occurring precisely because the 9.1 version of pg_roles is
incorrect for 9.6.  I'd suggest dropping all of those views in the source
installation --- why would you need them, anyway?  The originals in
pg_catalog should suffice.
