Cool.  You did actually install the new scripts into your target
installation, right?

Hmmm ... a pg_dumpall output script shouldn't really contain that
function body directly; it should just say "CREATE EXTENSION
earthdistance".  Is it possible that this database is so old that
it contains a pre-extension (pre-9.1) version of earthdistance?
