Ah, right, I'd momentarily forgotten that binary-upgrade mode dumps
the extensions' contents as separate objects.
I think that switching the function(s) to new-style syntax, as already
mentioned, might get you pretty far. It'd be enough for pg_dump to get
the function-vs-spatial_ref_sys-existence ordering right at least.
What it will not do is ensure that the *contents* of spatial_ref_sys
are restored early. But I'm not sure that that's fatal in a
binary-upgrade situation, because we're not dumping/restoring data:
the tables' disk files are just moved verbatim. There might still be
some edge cases that fail, but I think basic scenarios ought to work.
