Hm, yeah, so more to do here.  (Sure glad we found these issues before
next week's releases, not after.)

I propose that what we'd better do is

(1) Make pg_dump use LOCK TABLE ONLY, not LOCK TABLE.

(2) Make LOCK TABLE ONLY on a view not recurse to the view's dependencies.
It's quite unclear to me why it didn't work that way all along.
