I love when people use features that aren't even properly documented 
yet. :-)

I'm imagining using 'with-wrapper-hook' (or, since it's deprecated, 
'add-function') to give modes a chance to tweak the global lisp 
environment that pdumper sees, avoiding some of these problems. Another 
option, which isn't necessarily mutually exclusive, is to provide a list 
of symbols to dump as nil.

For now, you're going to get the most reliable results dumping a -batch 
Emacs.
