This issue was resolved in commit f0e9b262f1d3219df248a5340771f8e23c5d6bce. However if you upgrade pacemaker to 1.1.8, the new pacemaker now sees two nodes for every node that hit this issue. It sees one with the negative nodeid and one with the positive.

I assume this is because the node running the old pacemaker is still using those nodeids and is sending them back to the new node. Is there anyway to be able to perform this upgrade rolling or will it have to be all nodes at once?

All nodes at once I think.
You can run the cibadmin command without a cluster running though, perhaps that will help.
You'll need to prepend: CIB_file=/path/to/cib.xml
