 Well pg_largeobject is a system catalog so pretty sure it cannot be
 excluded.

 What tables are you trying to exclude with OID?

 Do you care about not dumping the pg_largeobject table or not dumping
 the data it contains?
 
I have several tables with OID-columns and I'd like to dump my DB without any 
data in pg_largeobject (> 95% of the space is occupied by data in 
pg_largeobject).
I've tried to exclude (using -T) the tables containing OID-columns but 
pg_largeobject is still dumped containing the data it seems.
