Un-confuse me, how do the below relate?:

"Turns out that there's a nightly cron job that dumps this (and other)
tables with the "--data-only --disable-triggers" options and then does
"psql -Xaf mumble.sql" to load them into this database.

But access_email_id=2073 is in the source access_email, so I've got to
figure out why it's not being loaded into the target."

and

"Some tables aren't being dumped at the source"
