You've probably got an object whose owning user has been deleted,
or some similar loss of a link that pg_dump expects to be there.

I'd suggest trying it with the 7.1.2 pg_dump (which should talk to
7.0.*). It'll still complain, but with any luck give you a more useful
error message. (If not, file a bug report.)

Another attack is to run pg_dump with query logging turned on, and
see what the last query issued before the failure is.
