Jonathan,
The implicit indexes are no big deal; they're just a sign of indexes
getting created by PRIMARY KEYs on your tables.
I'm not sure why you're getting errors. Is there a reason you did the
schema dump separately from the data dump rather than a monolithic
dump/restore?
Once you get your data import working, you might want to check out
contrib/adddepend, though, since you're coming from a pre-7.3 database.
