Well, looking at the SETs already currently emitted:

$ pg_dump -s regression | grep ^SET
SET client_encoding = 'SQL_ASCII'; fails before 7.1
SET check_function_bodies = false; fails before 7.4
SET client_min_messages = warning; fails before 7.3
SET search_path = public, pg_catalog; fails before 7.3
SET default_tablespace = ''; fails before 8.0
SET default_with_oids = false; fails before 8.0

so I'm not at all clear what you've got against this one.
