Looking at the BDR commit history, it has been doing that since May.

Only dump non-default sequence access methods
To prevent issues with UDR and with restoring BDR dumps to non-BDR
databases, don't emit a USING clause unless the pg_seqam catalog is
present and the dumped sequence uses a non-default sequence access
method.
The dump should be restored with default_seqam = 'local' to ensure
that local sequences aren't transformed into 'bdr' sequences during
restore.
