The pg_dump output was never backward compatible.  (The input is.)  So 
the output of parallel restore need not be backward compatible either. 
(Unless this mandate has changed dramatically while I was not looking?)  So always issue TRUNCATE ONLY, if that is what
thelogic requires. 
 
The additional benefit is that this will fail safely on older versions.
