Oh! Horrible!  
I've just found the answer at  
      http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?migration.html>
 
If your dump isn't up to date (mine isn't), you have to install the old 
version of pgsql in another directory and do the final dump, making sure to 
use a different port if the two versions are running simultaneously.  Or 
something like that.
