I should think we would have heard about it before now if such a
sweeping claim were true.
What I suspect is that you are using 8.1's pg_dump, and you have tripped
over one of the corner cases that made us redesign dumping of serial
sequences for 8.2. Do you get better results if you dump the problem
database with 8.2 or 8.3 pg_dump?
