Yeah, perhaps so. The thread on -general has also produced the
information that pg_dump -t '*' tries to dump system catalogs as if
they were user tables, which is another pretty useless bit of behavior.
So maybe we should drop the hunk you've got there (which frankly seems a
bit of a kluge) and instead hot-wire things so that stuff in pg_catalog
is excluded even if it would otherwise match the inclusion lists.
