Actually, I think the given example demonstrates pilot error rather
than a bug. The user has altered properties of an extension member
object locally within the database, but has not changed the extension's
installation script to match. The fact that after restore, the object
does again match the script is intended behavior. We've made some
exceptions to that rule for permissions, but not anything else.
I don't see a reason to consider the objects' schema assignments
differently from other properties for this purpose.
