Is that SET located before/during the sequence of DROPs issued due to -c ?

I think this is a known bug in the behavior of -c.  It was fixed before
8.3 release but doesn't seem to have been back-patched into any older
branches:

http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c.diff?r1=text&tr1=1.149&r2=text&tr2=1.151

Simplest workaround with older pg_dumps might be to avoid -c and
just do a manual "DROP SCHEMA distributed CASCADE" before restoring
the dump.
