possible pg_dumpall (7.1.3) bug

This may be with the pg_dumpall script from 7.1.3 but the restoration 
died as a result of the owner not being able to create the database it 
owned...


Steps to reproduce:

create a user [testuser] with createdb privilege (to create a database 
that they own)
create a database testdb using testuser's account
drop the createdb privilege from testuser (so they can't create an more 
databases)
add a table to the testdb as testuser

pg_dumpall > dump.pgsql

upgrade to postgresql 7.2

psql -U postgres template1 < dump.pgsql
 *it dies here*

Can pg_dumpall create the script where user postgres creates the 
database and the assigns the owner to another user rather than assuming 
the owner can create the database?
