We should be able to get it addressed shortly.

Yes, it's unfortunate that many users aren't really familiar with
schema-level privileges.

For your specific case, if you drop/recreate the public schema in the
system that you're dumping the data from, and then set the ACLs to what
you want, they should be dumped out, even with a pg_dump -c.  It's only
when you're using -c with the initdb-time public schema, and initdb-time
ACLs, that the issue arises.

Thanks!

Stephen
