What happens on a normal pg_dump of the complete database?  For
extensions that were installed using strings instead of files, do I get
a string back?  Because if not, the restore is clearly going to fail
anyway.

I mean, clearly the user doesn't want to list the extensions, figure
which ones were installed by strings, and then do pg_dump
--extension-script on them.
