IIRC, the design intention is that such a table's data would be dumped
when (and only when) the extension is dumped.  That is, I'd expect to
see a "CREATE EXTENSION foo;" and then data for the extension's tables.
The partial-dump scenarios you mention wouldn't dump extensions, hence
not extension table data either.

Whether this design is a good one is still under debate, but I think
pg_dump is operating as designed here ...
