v9.3.0: bug with pgdump -s?

From

(Using the new PostgreSQL v9.3.0)

I did a schema-only dump of the 'pg_catalog' schema in the hopes to
study how the built-in OPERATOR CLASSes are defined.

Doing so output a few warnings:

$ [pg930] pg_dump -s -n pg_catalog template1 > /tmp/pg_catalog.sql
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "any" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyarray" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyelement" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyenum" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anynonarray" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyrange" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "cstring" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "event_trigger" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "fdw_handler" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "internal" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "language_handler" appears to be
invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "opaque" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "record" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "trigger" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "void" appears to be invalid

Additionally, the operator classes seem to be incomplete in pg_dump's
output:

CREATE OPERATOR CLASS box_ops
     DEFAULT FOR TYPE box USING gist AS
     ;

...

CREATE OPERATOR CLASS text_ops
     DEFAULT FOR TYPE text USING btree AS
     ;

I'd expect them to be fully spec'd with OPERATOR, FUNCTION, and STORAGE
arguments.

Am I expecting too much against 'pg_catalog' or is something bugged?

Yes, I think you do expect too much. It'd perhaps be nice to give a
nicer error message, but some of the stuff (like the pseudotypes you see
warnings about here) doesn't fully follow the public rules.

The likely reason you're seing the problem with the opclasses being
output incompletely is that internal entries don't all have full
dependency information.

What did you actually try to find out?

I was just trying to mentally sync up
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/xindex.html with (more)
concrete examples.  Investigating pg_catalog seemed like the obvious
choice.  Too bad.

Try looking at contrib/btree_gist or such.
