I didn't know such a thing even existed. What causes it to happen? I agree it should be forbidden.

It was the only way to switch users before we had SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE and such. But the pg_restore man page says that -R/--no-reconnect is obsolete, so I'm not sure what the current behavior really is.
