This fix is broken.

 70  -   if (dopt.include_everything && !dopt.schemaOnly)
 71 +   if (dopt.include_everything && !dopt.schemaOnly && !dopt.outputBlobs)
 72         dopt.outputBlobs = true;

dopt.outputBlobs set to FALSE when option -B is specified and this IF
condition reverts to TRUE which force to dump blobs.

Such note exists for --table & --exclude-table option, see following
lines in pg_dump.sgml

 569        <para>
 570         When both <option>-t</> and <option>-T</> are given, the behavior
 571         is to dump just the tables that match at least one <option>-t</>
 572         switch but no <option>-T</> switches.  If <option>-T</> appears
 573         without <option>-t</>, then tables matching <option>-T</> are
 574         excluded from what is otherwise a normal dump.
