Comment (by strk):

 You are probably right that there's no test starting
 with pgsql2shp, but the so called "loader tests"
 (passing a .shp filename or base filename to run_test.pl)
 uses both shp2pgsql and pgsql2shp, doing a round-trip
 and comparing the original shapefile with the expected
 output shapefile.

 This is really driven by what "expected" files exist.
 In this case, shapefile-to-shapefile comparison is
 only performed if a file called <input>.shp.expected
 exists, see subroutine run_dumper_and_check_output
