But I made more research and find the problem : the function I use...
I'm using the gen_random_uuid() function wich is included into postgresql core since v13 and was originally into the pgcrypto extension.
So when you don't prefix the function call, PostgreSQL don't use any prefix because this is a core function and there is no need for prefix...
When you prefix it, PostgreSQL keep the prefix in case you call another function (that you CREATE into another schema for exemple).
When you use a function that is stored into the public schema but is not part of the core (personnal functions or functions from extensions) PostgreSQL keep the prefix you add into the CREATE statement or add a prefix if you omit it regarding the place where the function is stored (depending of the search_path you have when you run the statement).
So, there is no problem it was a misunderstanding on my side on how pg_dump works with core function.
Maybe adding the "pg_catalog" prefix could be an improvment, I will propose that.
Thanks !

Are you sure that my_function_in_public was created in schema public on pg13? I cannot reproduce this on 13.12. However, I can reproduce it when creating that function in pg_catalog instead of public. The dump does not include pg_catalog.my_function_in_public though.
