This is not a bug. The problem is that there are two levels of quoting
needed: one for the shell and one for SQL. As you wrote it, the double
quotes are stripped off by the shell and so pg_dump gets Schema, which
is case-folded per normal SQL rules. So you need to write

pg_dump -n '"Schema"' -U postgres database

Now, the shell eats the single quotes and passes "Schema" to pg_dump.
