OK, that is odd.  We preserve old/new OIDs, (not relfilenode, as someone
suggested in this thread);  FYI:

 *  FYI, while pg_class.oid and pg_class.relfilenode are initially the same
 *  in a cluster, but they can diverge due to CLUSTER, REINDEX, or VACUUM
 *  FULL.  The new cluster will have matching pg_class.oid and
 *  pg_class.relfilenode values and be based on the old oid value.  This can
 *  cause the old and new pg_class.relfilenode values to differ.  In summary,
 *  old and new pg_class.oid and new pg_class.relfilenode will have the
 *  same value, and old pg_class.relfilenode might differ.

The problem reported is that pg_dump was not able to preserve the
old/new oids between clusters.  Can you get the answer for this query on
the old cluster:

        SELECT relname from pg_class where oid = 2938685;

and on the new cluster, assuming you used 'copy' mode so you can start
the old/new clusters indepdendently:

        SELECT relname from pg_class where oid = 299721;

I think we will find that there is something in pg_dump related to this
table that isn't preserving the oids.
