Yup.

Yes. We're not intending to do anything about that. The previous scheme
also caused pointless errors in some situations, so this isn't really a
regression. The area is messy enough already that trying to avoid errors
even with old (wrong) archives would almost certainly cause more problems
than it solves. In particular, it's *not* easy to fix things in a way
that works conveniently for both superuser and non-superuser restores.
See the mail thread referenced by 5955d9341.
(Note that it's only been very recently that anyone had any expectation
that pg_dump scripts could be restored with zero errors in all cases;
the usual advice was just to ignore noncritical errors. I'm not that
excited about it if the old advice is still needed when dealing with old
archives.)
