I think you're setting up straw men.  No one has argued that we should
dump and restore the verbatim current contents of a matview.  But there
is a longstanding expectation that pg_dump be able to dump and restore
the contents of read-only tables, and what you proposed breaks that.
That won't do.

It's possible that the most reasonable fix is to move matview refreshes to
after the ACL restoration step.  That would wreak a lot of havoc with
the current view of a dump as being tripartite (pre-data/data/post-data),
so it might be more work than we want to do.  But it seems like the
logically soundest thing.
