BUG #15185: pg_dump doesn't include statistics when specifying a table

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      15185

Description:

After using the CREATE STATISTICS command to create multi-column statistics
on a table, calling pg_dump with the -t option doesn't include that
definition, but it does include things like indexes.

I see this note in the documentation: "When -t is specified, pg_dump makes
no attempt to dump any other database objects that the selected table(s)
might depend upon. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the results of a
specific-table dump can be successfully restored by themselves into a clean
database."  I don't think that applies here, but please tell me if I'm
wrong.

Here is a simple test case, created in a database named "test":

create table Events (
 EventDt timestamp(6) with time zone not null,
 EventId integer not null,
 ProjectId smallint not null,
 LoggerId integer,
 Message text
);
create index IX_Events_ProjectId_LoggerId on Events (ProjectId, LoggerId);
create statistics Events_ProjectLogger (dependencies) ON ProjectId, LoggerId
FROM Events;

pg_dump.exe -U postgres --schema-only test
pg_dump.exe -U postgres -t public.events --schema-only test

The first pg_dump command output shows the "CREATE STATISTICS" line, while
the second one does not.  It seems like it should.
