No there were no other output apart from what I showed above.

No, no mention of creating the schema.

Btw. it worked fine when I used plain text output and moved the part of creating the function to near the end of the dump file.

Could it be that the

create function  <schema>.<function name>

in the dump file does not implicitly create the schema as a

create table <schema>.<table name>

would?
