My understanding of what's happening here (admittedly, I've not been
paying really close attention) is that some component is misprocessing
non-ASCII data as it's being typed into the pg_dump shell command.
That being the case, I'm not sure that a pre-written shell script could
reproduce the issue accurately.  A script to create the initial database
contents would surely be helpful, but the steps after that might need to
be more like "type this into the terminal, and then you will get X instead
of Y".
