Hm. I have been pondering about this code more and I am dropping the patch as either adding a check based on the flag to track dumpable objects or ext_member visibly breaks the logic that binary upgrade and tables in extensions rely on. Particularly this portion makes me think so in getExtensionMembership():
                /*
                 * Normally, mark the member object as not to be dumped.  But in
                 * binary upgrades, we still dump the members individually, since the
                 * idea is to exactly reproduce the database contents rather than
                 * replace the extension contents with something different.
                 */
                if (!dopt->binary_upgrade)
                        dobj->dump = false;
                else
                        dobj->dump = refdobj->dump;

Ok. Looking at above code into getExtensionMembership(). It seems like you fix you suggested is not correct. I new table with DEFAULT attribute into dump_test extension and pg_dump with binary-upgrade is failing with pg_dump: invalid column number 1 for table "bb_tab_fkey".

rushabh@rushabh-centos-vm:dump_test$ cat dump_test--1.0.sql
/* dump_test/dump_test--1.0.sql */

-- complain if script is sourced in psql, rather than via CREATE EXTENSION
\echo Use "CREATE EXTENSION dump_test" to load this file. \quit

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bb_tab_fkey (
    id int PRIMARY KEY
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS aa_tab_fkey (
    id int REFERENCES bb_tab_fkey(id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS foo ( a int default 100 );

This gave another strong reason to add if (!tbinfo->dobj.dump) check rather then ext_member check. What you say ?
