pg_dump currently errors out before 7.0:
        /*
         * We allow the server to be back to 7.0, and up to any minor release of
         * our own major version.  (See also version check in pg_dumpall.c.)
         */
        fout->minRemoteVersion = 70000;
        fout->maxRemoteVersion = (PG_VERSION_NUM / 100) * 100 + 99;


I do think it might be justifyable to bump that a bit.
