Hi Wim,

this is expected. pg_wrapper will always redirect psql to the latest
version installed because it's downwards compatible, while directing
all other wrapped commands to the cluster you have selected.

9.1 seems to be the one on port 5432, so that's your default.

You should be using pg_dump --cluster 9.3/main .
