Shoot the messenger? Heck, no!
Occam's Razor shaved again!
(Even though it seemed improbable, it was the only option left.)
I installed cygipc 1.11.1 on the other machine (which has the mosaic
new-system + 'old' postgres) linked to the data, pgdumped all and
HEUREKA it worked!!!
Thank you all so much for your kind help.
Btw. I assume that I am not the only one whose data got lost and as we all
know, backup is for newbies! The pro does not err and does not need backup,
right? :p
So if others have the same problem, they will hopefully find the following
helpful:
1. Download Postgres 7.2.x (I still have the tarball and will keep for
1/2 year a copy. I will send a copy to whoever requests it)
2. Install Postgres (old)
3. Download cygipc 1.11. Either from the site below or I can send it
too.
4. --remove-as-service cygipc 1.13 or 1.12 (if that's what you have)
5. tar xvfj cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2
6. --install-as-service it
7. pg_dumpall
8. Repeat steps 3 to 6 replcing cygipc 1.11 with 1.13 back
9. Reinstall pg 7.3.x
10. Restore and you are done!
Thank you all again for your contributions.

Correct. Just use cygipc 1.11-1:

Do not shoot the messenger, but there was a change between 1.11-1 and
1.13-2 that prevents backwards compatibility.

Sure there is:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.10-1.tar.
