restore(8) doesn't preserve inode allocations:

     A level zero dump must be done after a full restore.  Because restore
     runs in user code, it has no control over inode allocation; thus a full
     dump must be done to get a new set of directories reflecting the new in-
     ode numbering, even though the contents of the files is unchanged.

I believe FH numbering is a bit more complicated than dev/inode concatenation
anyway, but the lack of inode number preservation is probably what bit you
this time.
