The problem is actually that the type cache is not schema aware. So it
first resolves the name to an OID in testschema1 and when you call it
again with the same name, the driver doesn't bother checking the
search path or the database and simply uses the OID it resolved
previously. I don't know of any workaround for this other than using type
names that are unique across schemas.
