Hmm. What you've apparently got here is a serial column that you've
carried forward from an old (pre 7.3 at least) database. Had the serial
default been created in 7.3 or later then it would be a fully qualified
name (ie nextval('someschema.emailtemplate_email_templat_seq')) and
there would be no issue. For that matter, had the SERIAL column been
created in 7.3 or later, pg_dump would know to say
CREATE TABLE emailtemplates (
email_template_id SERIAL,
...
instead of what it did say. Now it is surely not pg_dump's charter
to editorialize on default expressions that were supplied by the user
(which this was, as far as the current database knows). So this isn't a
pg_dump bug. What it is is a deficiency in the upgrade process that we
had from pre-7.3 to 7.3 databases. You might want to consider running
contrib/adddepend against your database to fix things up. (But note
that it's just a contrib script and is not guaranteed; so keep a prior
dump around ...)
