My guess is the problem is that the views use column(func(params))
which get output by pg_dump as func(params).column. I can replicate in
7.2beta4 with a simpler case, but haven't looked any further.

create table eee1( a int, b int);
create function foo1(int) returns eee1 as 'select * from eee1
limit 1;' language 'sql';
create view vv1 as select b(foo1(3));

sszabo(at)bills:~ $ pg_dump -s -t vv1 sszabo
--
-- Selected TOC Entries:
--
\connect - sszabo

--
-- TOC Entry ID 2 (OID 4938784)
--
-- Name: vv1 Type: VIEW Owner: sszabo
--

CREATE VIEW "vv1" as SELECT foo1(3).b AS b;

sszabo(at)bills:~ $ pg_dump -s -t vv1 sszabo | psql
You are now connected as new user sszabo.
