Are you sure it isn't an issue with your search path? e.g.:

regression=# select oid,* from pg_namespace ;
   oid   |  nspname   | nspowner | nspacl
--------+------------+----------+--------
      11 | pg_catalog |        1 | {=U}
      99 | pg_toast   |        1 | {=}
    2200 | public     |        1 | {=UC}
   16766 | pg_temp_1  |        1 |
  822259 | MySchema   |        1 |
(5 rows)

regression=# \dt
         List of relations
  Schema | Name | Type  |  Owner
--------+------+-------+----------
  public | foo  | table | postgres
(1 row)

regression=# update pg_namespace set nspname='joe' where oid = 2200;
UPDATE 1
regression=# select oid,* from pg_namespace ;
   oid   |  nspname   | nspowner | nspacl
--------+------------+----------+--------
      11 | pg_catalog |        1 | {=U}
      99 | pg_toast   |        1 | {=}
   16766 | pg_temp_1  |        1 |
  822259 | MySchema   |        1 |
    2200 | joe        |        1 | {=UC}
(5 rows)

regression=# \dt
No relations found.
regression=# show search_path;
  search_path
--------------
  $user,public
(1 row)

regression=# set search_path to '$user','joe';
SET
regression=# \dt
         List of relations
  Schema | Name | Type  |  Owner
--------+------+-------+----------
  joe    | foo  | table | postgres
(1 row)

HTH,
