Is there a patch to backport this to the 7.3 series?  Without it there 
is no reliable way to backup a database with more complicated permissions.

I'm sure I'd just muddle through with a sed script to insert the grants
at the right place should the need arise.  But likewise - with the other
bug I reported - pg_dump is generating sql that can't be executed because 
the users don't have permissions.  The resulting SQL just won't work as 
is... and without intervention users can't restore/upgrade databases that 
have these types of permissions.
