8.2 with 1.6.1, and no, there are no undocumented features I'm aware of.

Mind you, if you're thinking of the SQL it displays in the main window, 
then that *is* generated by pgAdmin - it's the backup scripts that we 
use pg_dump for. It often does thinks in different ways from what you 
might expect to get round issues such as circular dependencies.
