I can't reproduce this here; it seems clear that there's some triggering
condition other than the mere presence of indexes. Could you submit a
*self contained* example (preferably, a SQL script that makes a database
that pg_dump misbehaves on)?

The output looks a little bit like pg_dump might be trying to break some
circular dependency involving the matview. But it's not obvious how
you'd have gotten into such a situation, and we certainly haven't been
shown all the moving parts.
