Yeah, it was only in 9.6 that we grew any infrastructure that would
allow handling this properly.  Before that, there was no way to track
which GRANTs on an extension object were part of the extension's
initial script and which had been issued later --- so pg_dump just
assumed they were all of the former kind and didn't dump anything
for extension member objects.

9.6.x will make this better for you.
