Anyway, you have brought this important issue to my attention -- PostgreSQL's need for pg_dump/pg_restore can be adversely affected by Cygwin setup.exe's automatic upgrade functionality. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to solve this problem. However, Cygwin setup.exe's cache should have all previous versions installed including PostgreSQL unless one deletes them. Hence, the old PostgreSQL version should still have been available for the pg_dump phase.
