Start with a schema dump (DDL) pg_dump -s
edit the schema to excluded plpgsql, plpgsql_call_handler,etc... related statements
and then create a data dump using pg_dump -a
then load first the schema dump (DDL) and then the data dump.
Anyways, those little error msgs should not scare you, no major harm done,
you should be able to tell *real* problems from minor decorative issues like this one.
