I know the problem is with XFS and mount option "nobarrier" within a XEN
vm. Just last week I discussed with the XFS devs if that would be save
to use with a battery backed RAID. They said "depends on the
hypervisor". So now I proofed (not that I wanted!) that within XEN, XFS
should always have "barrier" on.

OK, that's a start. Trying... still an error:

pg_dump: Fehlermeldung vom Server: ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for
toast value 1460201 in pg_toast_1281127
pg_dump: Die Anweisung war: COPY public.dbmail_messageblks
(messageblk_idnr, physmessage_id, messageblk, blocksize, is_header) TO
stdout;

What now?
