I don't see how this can happen with BACKUP. COPY, yet; BACKUP no.

Allocated blocks after EOF seem to be able to cause trouble
this way. I know nothing, but I suspect that BACKUP stops
reading data at EOF, but (re-)creates and compares all blocks.
Data after EOF are unreliable, leading to miscompares.
