(1) Are you sure your pg_dump version matches your backend version?
(And exactly what version are we discussing here, anyway?)

(2) A reindex of pg_attribute might help. See the 7.2 REINDEX man page
for a reasonably complete description of how to reindex system catalogs.
The 7.1 procedure is the same, but the docs are poorer...
