Uhm, I guess by "extensions" they mean _real_ extensions,
and assuming the dump would only contain _real_ extensions.
PostGIS 1.5 wasn't an extension so won't work.

That would not necessarely be a problem.
The problem will be restoring old pl/pgsql functions, which doesn't
even give you an error message I guess.

Make sure you follow the "Hard upgrade" procedure described
on the PostGIS manual.
Should happily bring you from 9.0/1.5 to 9.1/2.0.
And we're all very interested in any problem with that.
