Well, no, these things really should not happen. :)

It may be too late, but it would be real interesting to see this query both
before and after the REINDEX:

select * from pg_index where indrelid  = 'bcf_work_type'::regclass and
indisprimary;

An incorrect indrelid is one way I can think of as to how pg_dump would
miss it, but that wouldn't explain why reindex would subsequently fix it.


Cheers,
