Try pg_dump -t test.mytable

Then check the docs of the new version, which state

: Note: The behavior of the -t switch is not entirely upward compatible
: with pre-8.2 PostgreSQL versions. Formerly, writing -t tab would dump
: all tables named tab, but now it just dumps whichever one is visible in
: your default search path. To get the old behavior you can write -t
: '*.tab'. Also, you must write something like -t sch.tab to select a
: table in a particular schema, rather than the old locution of -n sch -t
: tab.
