Backup file not UTF-8 (introduced bug in 1.6.2)

From

Hi,

A bug has been introduced in the version 1.6.2: when backing up in a file, the file produced is not in UTF-8 format
eventhough it is specified in the preferences. 

That used to work in 1.6.1


Cheers,

The UTF-8 option only applies to saved queries etc. not to backups. They
are written entirely by pg_dump which is part of PostgreSQL.
