neededpg_restore) version 8.2.4 or newer with the server (8.1.3). 

Yes -- pg_dump is backwards compatible; it will be able to dump the
database just fine.  Note, however, that the dump is not guaranteed to
be restorable in the 8.1 server.

I think you should upgrade to 8.1.17 which likely contains the fix as
well.
