That's pretty bizarre, because one of the standard test procedures we
use is to check that the SQL emitted by pg_restore from an -Fc backup
is exactly the same as a text-mode dump.  I have to think there's
something else you did differently.

Have you looked into pg_locks to see if there's a lock blocking your
query?  Have you tried comparing EXPLAIN results to see if the query
plan is the same?  (If not, maybe you forgot an ANALYZE step?)
