Hmm, almost like the encoding/locale is changing in the complete file.

FYI if you do a pg_dump using the custom format(-Fc) you have more
control over the restore. You can run pg_restore -l against the dump
file to get a Table of Contents(TOC), which you can edit by commenting
out items you do not want to restore and then feed back to pg_restore
via -L. You also have the option to 'restore' all or part of the custom
file to a text file using the -f option. The details can be found here:
