Hm, you are right, there's another problem that's independent of
search_path. In 9.2,

regression=# create table pg_catalog.t(f1 int);
ERROR: permission denied to create "pg_catalog.t"
DETAIL: System catalog modifications are currently disallowed.

but HEAD is missing that error check:

regression=# create table pg_catalog.t(f1 int);
CREATE TABLE

I will bet that this is more breakage from the DDL-code refactoring that
has been going on. I am getting closer and closer to wanting that
reverted. KaiGai-san seems to have been throwing out lots of special
cases that were there for good reasons.

regards, tom lane
