It's expected only if you made a dump file with 9.6's pg_dump and
restored it with a later pg_restore; there were some changes in
how the public schema got handled between the two versions.
The usual recommendation when you are doing a version migration
is to use the newer release's pg_dump to suck the data out of
the older server. If you can't do that, it'll (probably)
still work, but you may have cosmetic issues like this one.
