The behavior change seems like it'd be an improvement in a vacuum,
but I wonder how it would interact with catalog contents left behind
by the old misbehavior. Also, would we expect pg_dump to try to do
anything to clean up the mess? If so, allowing a back branch to have
had more than one behavior would complicate that greatly.
