Yeah, this is a well-known problem in pg_dump.  We need to revise it to
pay attention to the dependency information that's now available in
pg_depend.  At the moment your only alternative is to manually fix the
reload order using pg_restore's features for controlling the reload
order ... which features would never have existed in the first place
if we'd had this problem nailed :-(
