Very good question. IMHO is not method (in standard API) how create LO with
a specific oid. The pg_dumplo during LO-dump import rewrite (UPDATE) your old
oid in defined column. Yes, you must not use LO's oid as join key between
tables or save LO's oid to the others columns than you defined in pg_dumplo
command line.
The TOAST is deliverance from this limitation.
