pg_dump actually does support -Z0, though. Well, sort of. It outputs plain text. Rather than plain text wrapped in some kind of dummy gzip header, which is what I had naively expected. Is that what -Z0 in pg_basebackup should do as well, just output uncompressed tar data, and not add the ".gz" to the "base.tar" file name?
