Out of curiosity, why is this a "bug" now? We recommend migration
procedures always to use the pg_dump of the newer version because of many
reasons as clearly stated here:

        <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/migration.html>

And wouldn't introducing backpatching such behavorial changes to pg_dump
violate our policy in *not* to change such things in minor releases? (think
of diff's against schema-only dumps and so on....).
