They're hardly vacuous --- they're telling you that the destination
database will be missing plpgsql, which was in the source database.
The only really good way around that pre-8.3 is to run the restore as
a database superuser. As of 8.3 it should be sufficient to be the
database's owner.
If you don't have any actual use for plpgsql in this database, maybe
you should remove it from the source DB?
