Doh, thanks. I just pushed a patch that should close this bug. I
didn't do anything in particular to ensure that the constraint is dumped
after tables that use it, but pg_dump does it that way anyway -- I think
the reason is that separate constraints are always loaded at the end of
the dump, after all data has been loaded. (AFAIK FKs have always worked
like this, because it's much faster to load them after the data has been
imported.)
