I feel the best idea for a non-initdb-forcing solution is to hardwire the template knowledge into CREATE LANGUAGE for 8.1 (with of course the intention of doing my full original proposal for 8.2). With that in place, the only messiness from loading old dumps is that you would have handler function definitions in public --- but they wouldn't be used (the actual languages would rely on handlers in pg_catalog) and could be dropped easily.
Ok, that sounds good. Maybe have pg_dump issue a warning about the useless handler funcs left lying around?
