I thought at thebeginning,this is due name duplication of tables in differentschemasbut it seems not. Also, this seems as a schema option because it happen only in certain schemas. How I can get a consistent names of the casting ?

That's a feature, not a bug --- it doesn't qualify the name if
qualification is unnecessary given your current search_path.

For user tables, you could force it to always qualify by setting
search_path to empty, I think.
