Yes. The version mismatch message wasn't created because we are assuming
bugs, but because we know that pg_dump cannot handle the catalogs, which
is not the case when you use 7.3.2 to dump 7.3.3. If we want to take bugs
into account, then we can't let pg_dump work with any other version,
possibly not even its own.
