We do recommend using the newer pg_dump in an upgrade scenario when you
conveniently can, but 99% of the time the older pg_dump should work
fine. That recommendation is mainly to forestall issues like
that-particular-older-version-has-a-bug, and at the moment there's no
evidence that that's your problem.
