You're doing two different things here. In the first one it's pg_dump
8.3.0 against server 8.3.9. This should, I think, work if you use -i.
It's not recommended, but it should work.

In the second one, it's pg_dump 8.3.9 against server 8.4.0. This is
simply not supported. You need to use pg_dump 8.4 for server 8.4.
