I think, this is the problem:
You have created the table first and later the sequence, like this:

test=# create table public.s (i int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create sequence my_seq;
CREATE SEQUENCE
test=*# alter table s alter column i set default nextval('my_seq');
ALTER TABLE
test=*# create schema bla;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=*# alter table s set schema bla;
ALTER TABLE
test=*# \d bla.s
Table "bla.s"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-------------------------------------
i | integer | default nextval('my_seq'::regclass)

You have now a table in schema bla and the sequence still in public. To
avoid that you have to alter the sequence too:

test=# create table public.s (i int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create sequence my_seq;
CREATE SEQUENCE
test=*# alter table s alter column i set default nextval('my_seq');
ALTER TABLE
test=*# alter sequence my_seq owned by s.i;
ALTER SEQUENCE
test=*# create schema bla;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=*# alter table s set schema bla;
ALTER TABLE
test=*# \d bla.s
Table "bla.s"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------------------------------------
i | integer | default nextval('bla.my_seq'::regclass)

But i'm not sure if 'alter sequence owned ...' available in 8.2.
