Actually I was thinking of a little more than a setting to ignore errors; 
we would need to:
   - modify pg_dump to store the tablespace name as a separate     part of the TOC entry, NOT as part of the CREATE
TABLE.  - modify pg_restore to issue 'set default tablespace xxxx'     before restoring a table OR, per Fabiens
suggestion,issue     an ALTER TABLE after the create.
 

Then table-space related errors will not stop a table being created.
