This seems to dump & restore well (as Pavels patch does).

I did notice one peculiarity (in your patch) where for each table a few 
spaces are omitted by pg_dump.

-------------
#! /bin/bash

psql -qXc "drop database if exists testdb2"
psql -qXc "create database testdb2"

echo "
create schema if not exists test;
create table table0 (id integer);
create table table1 (id integer);
insert into table0 select n from generate_series(1,2) as f(n);
insert into table1 select n from generate_series(1,2) as f(n);
" | psql -qXad testdb2

echo "include table table0" > inputfile1.txt

echo "include table table0
include table table1" > inputfile2.txt

# 1 table, emits 2 spaces
echo -ne ">"
pg_dump -F p -f plainfile1 --filter=inputfile1.txt -d testdb2
echo "<"

# 2 tables, emits 4 space
echo -ne ">"
pg_dump -F p -f plainfile2 --filter=inputfile2.txt -d testdb2
echo "<"

# dump without filter emits no spaces
echo -ne ">"
pg_dump -F c -f plainfile3 -t table0 -table1 -d testdb2
echo "<"
-------------

It's probably a small thing -- but I didn't find it.

thanks,
