If it *isn't* in information_schema, but is just some random table that
happens to be named sql_features, then it's hard to explain why there's
anything going wrong at all. My money is on the OP having done a reload
of the information_schema (as per, eg, the release notes for 9.1.2), and
somehow that's confusing pg_dump and/or pg_upgrade.
