pg_dump sits atop libpq, which can use SSL if PostgreSQL was built
with SSL support.

No, that's not correct; pg_dump can use SSL just as any other libpq
application can.  Are you sure your pg_dump is linked against an
SSL-enabled libpq?  Have you tried setting the PGSSLMODE environment
variable?  What version of PostgreSQL are you running?
