This implies you don't have a default homepage setting.
I'm not sure how the front page of your RT works without it
(presumably all of your privileged users have a customized one, but
you must have errors when adding new privileged users who log in for
the first time).

Examine the results of
select id, Name, Description, Creator from Attributes where Name like '%HomepageSettings%';

using sbin/rt-attributes-viewer as needed to peek inside those that
exist.

The upgrade script expects that one exists at the system, not user
level, it would look like this:

 6 | HomepageSettings | HomepageSettings |       1
