Just for info: works well with 8.4:

test=*# create schema bla;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=*# create table public.s (i serial);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "s_i_seq" for serial column "s.i"
CREATE TABLE
test=*# \d s
Table "public.s"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------------------------------------------
i | integer | not null default nextval('s_i_seq'::regclass)

test=*# alter table s set schema bla;
ALTER TABLE
test=*# \d bla.s
Table "bla.s"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+---------------------------------------------------
i | integer | not null default nextval('bla.s_i_seq'::regclass)

test=*# select version();
version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
