No doubt this is because the -l option doesn't list ACL entries in the
first place :-(.

A quick fix for the immediate issue would be to pass acl_pass as true
instead of false in PrintTOCSummary (pg_backup_archiver.c line 712 in
current sources). I wonder however why PrintTOCSummary is filtering the
TOC entries at all, and whether there are any other cases that it really
shouldn't be filtering out. Philip, do you remember why it's like that?
