Yeah, that :-(. pg_dump's approach to cross-version catalog differences
can only cope with differences between major versions. So if it sees
a server that calls itself 11-something it's going to think that means
the current catalog layout. There's no good way to deal with pre-beta
snapshot versions, other than to dump with a pg_dump of the same vintage.
