Really? There's certainly code in there that purports to do it:

/*
* dump properties we only have ALTER TABLE syntax for
*/
if ((tbinfo->relkind == RELKIND_RELATION ||
tbinfo->relkind == RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE ||
tbinfo->relkind == RELKIND_MATVIEW) &&
tbinfo->relreplident != REPLICA_IDENTITY_DEFAULT)
{
if (tbinfo->relreplident == REPLICA_IDENTITY_INDEX)
{
/* nothing to do, will be set when the index is dumped */
}
else if (tbinfo->relreplident == REPLICA_IDENTITY_NOTHING)
{
appendPQExpBuffer(q, "\nALTER TABLE ONLY %s REPLICA IDENTITY NOTHING;\n",
qualrelname);
}
else if (tbinfo->relreplident == REPLICA_IDENTITY_FULL)
{
appendPQExpBuffer(q, "\nALTER TABLE ONLY %s REPLICA IDENTITY FULL;\n",
qualrelname);
}
}
