Sorry for mess, I will try to rephrase this:

When you export table with all columns, you will most likely want
AUTO_INCREMENT to be included.

However if we'd provide option to export table without auto incremented
column, not exporting AUTO_INCREMENT would be logical.

So I think that it's okay to have AUTO_INCREMENT clause.
