That's right, and that seems contradictory with:

"This utility [pg_restore], like most other PostgreSQL utilities, also uses the 
environment
variables supported by libpq (see Section 31.13)."

as pg_restore does 'ignore' (for want of a better word) PGDATABASE.

But I think I can conclude from your reply that that behaviour is indeed 
intentional.
