As of 8.4, pg_dump ignores --ignore-version altogether, because of the
way it's been rampantly abused. There was never any intention that that
should be a flag to use routinely; it was meant to get you out of
emergency situations where you did not have the right pg_dump available
and were willing to take risks.
