We have been telling people to use newer pg_dump's on older servers, but we only support reloading into the current PostgreSQL version, so I see no reason not to updated it to the current syntax.
We added the new syntax in 7.3.
Added to TODO:
o Update pg_dump to use the newer COPY syntax
I think you misunderstood me - all I think we should do is switch to using PQgetCopyData instead of PQgetline (deprecated) if the libpq pg_dump is built against has it. (And the protocol supports it.)
Same for PQputCopyData vs. PQputline.
