Yes, and a rather unpleasant one, since it will force people to do
manual correction of their dump files, if they have views with
permissions set on them.

I think the fix will be simple (haven't looked at the code yet though).

Question we need to think about: is this a sufficiently bad problem
to justify putting out a 7.1.3 release? There are a few other
unhappinesses in 7.1.2 that have been or could be fixed by
back-patching, but so far I haven't felt that we needed a 7.1.3,
given that 7.2 isn't too far away. But this bug is going to make it
difficult for people to upgrade to 7.2, unless we provide a 7.1
patch release first.

Opinions anyone?
