I understand the reluctance to fool with stable code. I have zero insight into your installed versions distribution and backward compatibility needs so any comment I may have here is purely selfish. As an end user there is one area of the DB that I want to work correctly 100% of the time and that is the dump/restore tool(s). If it's not going to work under certain circumstances it should at least tell me so and fail. I don't think having the tool appear to work while corrupting the data (even if documented as doing so) is a viable method of operation.
