Just a thought. When you are restoring, are you restoring using the same
encoding as the database you dumped. I recall having similar problems and
it was because my dumped database was in SQL ASCII and I had mistakenly
created my new database using UNICODE.
Also I think I had an issue if I was using a pg_restore older than the
version that came with the pg version I used dump.

If you can not restore a dump, you are either doing something
wrong or you have discovered a bug:
