Yes, this is it:
I had this leftover line in pg_hba.conf:
host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

Removing the line gives me:
FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "akaariai", ...

And changing md5 to trust fixes the issue.

I wonder if it would be possible to supply -w to pg_dump to make pg_dump 
fail automatically instead of asking for password and thus hanging the 
whole pgadmin program. Unfortunately supported only from version 8.4...
