Works for me:
regression=# create table new (f1 text, new text);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into new (f1, new) values ('1','2');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# copy new(f1,new) to stdout;
1 2
You sure the server is 9.1?

Hi,
The manual says:
It is recommended that you use the pg_dump and pg_dumpall programs from the
newer version of PostgreSQL, to take advantage of enhancements that might
have been made in these programs. Current releases of the dump programs can
read data from any server version back to 7.0.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/upgrading.html
That means that this actually should work.
Cheers,
WBL

It will work if you use the --quote-all-identifiers option.
