Let's not panic here.  The actual net effect of these bugs will be that
the pg_dump output script fails to restore the permissions and/or
comment associated with a view.  Which'd be annoying, but hardly
something to ruin your whole day.

I happen to agree that it'd be appropriate to put out a 7.1.3 now,
because of the accumulated bug fixes since 7.1.2 --- not only these
pg_dump issues, but the WAL truncation fix seems to be something that
lots of people need.  I haven't been able to stir up any interest from
the rest of core, however.

            regards, tom lane
