This kind of migration recreates indexes (since it recreates everything) so it's not subject to the same hazard as an OS/libc upgrade without reindexing. In fact it would detect the problem if it existed, as the creation of the unique constraint in the new db would fail if the data in the dump did not satisfy it.
