What happened if you connected to another database in the cluster?

That's irrelevant.

I dare assume Adrian asked for a reason :-)

Yes, the reason being that the OP was asking about the possibility of recovering schema information, not data. Given a server that starts and a database to connect to in the cluster then it might be possible to get that information without resorting to mining the raw files(something I do not know how to do anyway). This of course assumes that the system tables where not corrupted. As a test, if you can connect to a database in the cluster what happens if you do?:

select * from pg_class;

or if you want to cut to the chase:

pg_dump -s -d database_in_question -h some_host -U some_user
