Yup, that's what you told it to do: "notify radius". Listen/notify
names are really arbitrary identifiers, not relation names. This
is a good thing: you can signal conditions that aren't tightly
tied to a single table.

It's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)

The listen/notify documentation could be clearer about this, though.
Maybe it's a documentation bug.
