This would be a similar case to the test:

COPY fk_reference_test_table second

and really wouldn't be very difficult to add, you just have to realize
that the regexp has be set up to match the output of pg_dump and that's
it's a multi-line one, as that test case is.

For my 2c, this seems like a pretty reasonable test to add and wouldn't
be very hard to do. If you'd like help, please reach out.

Thanks!
