Thanks for the responses. For me, using the 9.2 binary was the winner. Shoulda thought of that!

Generally speaking, it helps a lot if you don't insist on restoring the output in a single transaction. In this case, that would allow the restore to ignore the new parameters and move on.

Well sure, I can see it increases your chances of getting _something_ restored. But there's also a lot to be said for ensuring that _all_ your data restored, and did so correctly, no?
Record the errors, and look through them to decide if they are important or not.
But better yet, use v9.2 of pg_dump to dump things out of a 9.2 server which you want to load to another 9.2 server. Don't be at the mercy of your $PATH.
(Or even more better yet, upgrade the servers from 9.2 to 9.6, and then use 9.6's pg_dump)
