Ah, thanks, Feike.

So what is going on is that those commands don't actually have any
visible effect in pg_dump because they change the privileges from the
default state to a state that's identical to the default.  I suppose
that makes sense.

However, I don't think Reinier would have gone to the trouble of
reporting the problem unless there was something actually being affected
by it.  Am I mistaken?
