To be honest, I have no idea - like I said, I just looked at the LO code
and heap.c. But I believe it will let me create a lo with the right OID.

OK; then it needs to be done by pg_restore ONLY when a full restore is
being done. pg_dump already has a crude way of setting the max OID at the
start of a restore; all I need to do is use that process when restoring blobs.
