Clearly a bug.

I think this patch is not in keeping with typical coding practices in
pg_dump. Usually we prefer to retrieve names from the server as-is,
then apply fmtId() when printing them --- this is more flexible than
having possibly-pre-quoted names in pg_dump's internal state.

Will fix it the latter way. Thanks for the report!
