Are you sure those aren't rules on some other table that chance to have
the same names as the problematic rules?
Until very recently (CVS tip of a couple days ago) pg_dump did not
really have the smarts to ensure that it always did things in a "safe"
order that wouldn't fall foul of inter-object dependencies. I suspect
what you have here is just an example of that.
