Those two issues were fixed in 1f092a309 and 07f8a9e784.
But, we missed two casts to ::text which don't use pg_catalog.
Evidently the cast is to allow stable sorting.

I improved on my previous hueristic to look for these ; this finds the two
missing schema qualifiers:

> time grep "$(sed -r "/.*pg_catalog\\.([_[:alpha:]]+).*/! d; s//\\1/; /^(char|oid)$/d; s/.*/[^. ']\\\\<&\\\\>/" src/bin/psql/describe.c |sort -u)" src/bin/psql/describe.c

While looking at that, I wondered why describeOneTableDetails lists stats
objects in order of OID ? Dating back to 7b504eb28, and, before that,
554A73A6(dot)2060603(at)2ndquadrant(dot)com(dot) It should probably order by nsp, stxname.
