Re: Schema bug

FWIW, here's what we ended up going with in newsysviews:

create or replace function _pg_sv_system_schema(name) returns boolean
  as 'select $1 in (name ''pg_catalog'', name ''pg_toast'',
                    name ''pg_sysviews'', name ''information_schema'')'
  language sql immutable strict;

This was after someone dug into pg_dump to see what it considers a
system schema (AndrewSN I believe).
