That message should also tell you what the role name was which was
skipped by pg_dumpall.

This was added because it means that a role which exists in your pre-9.6
version of PG begins with "pg_" and is not included in the pg_dumpall
output.

The best way to address this is to rename your role to not include the
"pg_" prefix as that prefix is now reserved for system-defined roles
(just like schemas).

Thanks!

Stephen
