Wouldn't it make more sense to have a global state variable that held the
current user and anyone invoking SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION has to set that
state variable?
Or have a function responsible for emitting SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION and bar
other functions from doing it manually. Then have a local static variable in
that function responsible for keeping state.

What's not the default mode? I'm just running "pg_dump -U postgresql -s db"
