So you need to find out what's happening in the trigger. Perhaps
auto_explain with auto_explain.log_nested_statements enabled
would give some insight.

I suspect there might be a permissions problem causing schema1_u
to not be allowed to "see" the statistics for table_b, resulting
in a bad plan choice for the FK enforcement query; but that's
just a guess.
