That's not a bug, it's a feature, for much the same reasons that pg_dump
tries to minimize explicit schema-qualification.
At least, it's a feature for ordinary dumps. I'm not sure whether it
might be a good idea for binary_upgrade dumps. That would depend on
our policy about whether a new opclass has to have a new (and necessarily
weird) name. If we try to make the new opclass still have the nicest
name then it won't help at all for pg_dump to dump the old name.
