The new grammar pattern of ALTER INDEX SET STATISTICS able to use column numbers on top of the existing column names introduced by commit 5b6d13e forgot to add support for the feature in pg_dump, so defining statistics on index columns was missing from the dumps, potentially causing silent planning problems with a subsequent restore. pg_dump ought to not use column names in what it generates as these are automatically generated by the server and could conflict with real relation attributes with matching patterns. "expr" and "exprN", N incremented automatically after the creation of the first one, are used as default attribute names for index expressions, and that could easily match what is defined in other relations, causing the dumps to fail if some of those attributes are renamed at some point. So to avoid any problems, the new grammar with column numbers gets used.
