That's how I back them up as well. You are correct that all you need
to do is restore the globals.sql, then each "pgdump" file
individually. Just ignore the warning when it tries to restore your
initial postgres superuser, since it was created by the initdb already.
You probably don't need the "postgres" db at all, since it is just
there to allow the client to connect to something on initial install.
Normally you don't use it in production.
Good. What, then, have I forgotten to restore such that the "Access
privileges" are showing on my current 9.2 servers, but not on the
newly-restored 9.6.6 server?

Hmmm. I just looked at the script, and it says:
$ pg_dumpall --schema-only > globals.sql
That's not good.
