Another thought here: what exactly do you mean by "no blob found"?
The current implementation does not try to restore blobs with the same
OIDs they had in the original database --- rather, it loads them up with
whatever OIDs the new backend cares to assign, and then tries to fix up
database columns of OID and LO types to reference the new OIDs instead
of the old ones.
This is obviously pretty fragile, and we are thinking about changing it
for 8.1, but I wonder if you are getting bit because you are doing
something that pg_restore isn't expecting.
