Well, FWIW, I think:

* It's too late for either feature additions or noncritical bug fixes
in the 7.2 cycle.

* ANSI-compatible schema support in the backend is a very high priority
for 7.3.

So my advice is that the JDBC code should stand pat on this point for
now. If you want to start thinking about how to do schema support
properly, on the assumption that the backend will have schema ability
in 7.3, then by all means start working on that.
