Yeah, this is known to happen in some cases where there was a broken
(incompletely enforced) foreign key constraint in your old database.
The odds are good that what you should do is nothing at all, because
you probably didn't even realize you still had the FK constraint in the
old database: the most common error cases weren't enforced. It's likely
that if you try to add the FK constraint now, you'll find it fails
because the data doesn't even satisfy the constraint. So you could
just leave things alone and the new database will behave approximately
like the old one did. But if you really want to add the FK constraint
back in, ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY is the way.
BTW, the known cases for this are follow-on damage from a bug in 7.0
pg_dump. Does the ancestry of this database go back that far?
