The rows with objsubid set to something other than 0 are almost
certainly comments on table columns (the sub ID being the column
number). That's perfectly normal. I'm still not clear where you're
seeing a problem though - can you show me a screenshot of the affect
schema in pgAdmin, including both the properties pane showing the
schema OID, and the SQL pane?

Thanks.
