In connection with a question on -general, I tried this:
$ pg_dump -n '*' regression >regression.dump
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "any" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyarray" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyelement" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "anyenum" appears to be invalid

pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "tsm_handler" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: typtype of data type "void" appears to be invalid
$
The datatypes being complained of are evidently all the pseudo-types.
I haven't looked into the code to figure out why this happens.
The dump is produced anyway, so it's only a cosmetic issue, but seems
probably worth fixing.
