Yeah, see the last example in the 8.2 pg_dump reference page:

  To specify an upper-case or mixed-case name in -t and related
  switches, you need to double-quote the name; else it will be folded to
  lower case (see Patterns). But double quotes are special to the shell,
  so in turn they must be quoted. Thus, to dump a single table with a
  mixed-case name, you need something like

    $ pg_dump -t '"MixedCaseName"' mydb > mytab.sql
