For the record. Using search_path for schema name handling is most annoying feature of pg_dump for us. I have run into many cases where separating schema is inconvenient but don't seem to remember any upsides.

Quite. There is no bug here unless loading the dump file puts something in the wrong schema. (Suppressing the schema name where possible is in fact considered a feature not a bug, since it makes it simpler to hand-edit the dump file at need.)
