Oh, dear.  That is a regression that is presumably my fault.

In version 1.1, the "ultimate source" for the xxid SQL is
xxid.v73.sql; in version 1.2, that changes to xxid.v74.sql (as we drop
PostgreSQL 7.3 support).  Evidently I have made the mistake of
applying some of those 1.2 revisions to 1.1 :-(.  

I'm changing that now.

You can work around this simply via:
  cp xxid.v73.sql xxid.v74.sql

I just committed a fix to the 1.1 branch for this that visibly works better:
