No. This is a regular (nightly) scripted dump, which drops and rebuilds
the entire database, and the right data is going into the file (I only
showed one line out of 300+). But in this particular case, the column
order was wrong. I should add that the table inherits from another one,
but the swapped columns are a long way into the extra columns specific
to this table.

I've changed the script to fix it, so its not a big issue for me, but I
first noticed it several days ago, so it's not a one off occurrence.
