Hmm.  The pg_dump tests make it easy to create a partition (in fact I
had already modified the test to add one after submitting):

diff --git a/src/bin/pg_dump/t/002_pg_dump.pl b/src/bin/pg_dump/t/002_pg_dump.pl

I'm not sure what to *do* with the partition, though :-) I don't think
there's a nice way to verify that the FK actually exists, or that
catalog rows are set in such-and-such way, after restoring this.
The pg_restore tests are marked TODO in the suite.  I think that'll have
to wait.

No worries -- I'll push it tomorrow morning.
