Probably. You could check this by running pg_restore with query logging
turned on, to see what commands it's actually issuing -- or just do
"pg_restore -s" into a text file and eyeball the generated script.

There are a lot of situations where pg_dump fails to pick a safe reload
order at the moment (that's why pg_restore has that wild and woolly set
of options for manual adjustment of the reload order).
