Actually I was thinking of a little more than a setting to ignore errors;
we would need to:

- modify pg_dump to store the tablespace name as a separate
part of the TOC entry, NOT as part of the CREATE TABLE.
- modify pg_restore to issue 'set default tablespace xxxx'
before restoring a table OR, per Fabiens suggestion, issue
an ALTER TABLE after the create.

Then table-space related errors will not stop a table being created.
