relfilenode has nothing to do with that.

PL/pgSQL compiles and caches the functions you are executing, so if you
change the database schema under it (or in it) you lose. This is an
intentional design choice. If you want to execute code dynamically you
should look at the EXECUTE command in PL/pgSQL, or for some other
language.
