A single ANALYZE at the end of the script would be sufficient. I'm not
sure that pg_dump should do this automatically though. If you're not
done restoring then it's mostly a waste of cycles, and how is pg_dump to
know that?
I do note that the docs are rather stingy with this important bit of
knowhow :-( Neither of the obvious places that I looked in (pg_dump
reference page and admin guide's backup/restore chapter) mention the
need to issue an ANALYZE after completing a restore. I'm pretty sure it
is mentioned *somewhere* ;-) ... but it needs to be more prominent.
