This was a red herring. That last constraint that was listed is the last thing in the dump/restore (at least according to --list). Perhaps at the end of pg_restore, it's trying to send the comment to the database ("completed on...") and that's confusing things? It does appear that the entire database has been restored, but the cluster restart is disconcerting.

Yep, that would be the point where the cluster is restarting.

Does this mean that the --no-owner is a command flag for pg_dump, but is ignored by pg_restore? Let me run a test and see...
