From a quick look at the pg_dump source code, this is indicative of
dangling links in either pg_operator.oprcom, pg_operator.oprnegate,
or pg_aggregate.aggsortop.  With no context it's difficult to guess
how they got there.  While you could clean it up manually, pg_dump
is just going to omit those clauses from its output, so there's no
real need to do anything if that outcome is sufficient.
