Do you recall any of the history - why was it added in the first place? I
vaguely recall something about doing a schema restore then data restore. In
this case, you need to disable triggers, but maybe that should be an option
only. ie. default to no messing with pg_class, but if the user requests it,
output code to disable triggers. 

The only thing that worries me in this, is that we are changing the
behaviour from 7.0.
