I haven't looked at the partitioning code, but I am quite sure that that's
always happened for old-style inheritance children, and I imagine pg_dump
is just duplicating that old behavior.
Wasn't there already a patch on the table to change this, though,
by removing the code path that uses inheritance rather than the
binary-upgrade-like solution?
