Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Am I right in thinking that your problem is "If a system has a newer version concurrently installed on a non-default port, then pg_wrapper fails to automatically select the newer client when -p is specified"?

I don't see anything in the documentation of pg_wrapper that says it'll pay attention to -p specified manually. So is this a feature request (with patch)?

Please note that we won't update stable releases without first updating the development release, since otherwise users upgrading to the next release will subsequently find a regression. If your patch does pass review etc, it will still be blocked from landing pending a corresponding patch to the development release. So it's best to start with testing/fixing the development release, get that landed, and then backport what is required.
