I am trying to understand the scope of this breakage.  I think it is
because crosstab specifies queries as strings, and a materialized view
has to run the query during restore to populate the materialized view. 
Is this the only combination of pg_dump restore breakage?

It doesn't sound like this is in any way unique to crosstab.
Any underqualified reference to a user-defined object can cause
problems during dump/restore, because of the restricted search_path
we use during restore.
