Yeah. This is fixed in current sources, and I back-patched it into
the REL7_2 branch, but current plans don't seem to include a 7.2.2
release --- we'll be going straight to 7.3 beta instead.
If you're sufficiently annoyed to want to install a source patch
locally, see rev 1.89.2.1 at
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/utils/adt/ruleutils.c
Note this is a server-side patch; the bug is not in pg_dump.
So using a 7.3 pg_dump against your existing server won't help.
You might want to apply the back-patch just so that you can
dump when the time comes to go to 7.3...
