There was a security change to pg_dump a few years ago to make it
put "set search_path = pg_catalog" into the dump script. This
basically means that any user-defined function in indexes, check
constraints, etc is on its own to be sure that it schema-qualifies
non-system names, or has a "SET search_path" clause to do that
for it. While that's annoying, it's also good practice. Functions
that could be invoked in these contexts really ought not assume
what search path they are called with.
I do not think any of the other details you mentioned, such as
use of --role, have any impact on this.
