You are right, it was my fault. I was confused about the pg_dump syntax, 
and used "-d" (the "-d" because pg_restore needs it for the destination 
database, not the dump itself), so it was using "--inserts".

Everything is working fine. I've done dump/restores cycles a hundreds 
times, and now such a mistake. I can't believe it.
Seems like I need to take some vacations.

Thanks for the help!
