That's a hole in the particular dump methodology you selected:

pg_dump does not dump/restore database properties, only database
contents. Properties are the responsibility of pg_dumpall, which
you bypassed (for databases anyway).
There's been some discussion of refactoring these responsibilities,
but no consensus.
