Ah-hah, as I rather suspected: public access to the "public" schema has
been revoked. (There's some info in the GRANT man page about reading
ACL displays, if you're not sure how to interpret the above.)

The reason for these odd behaviors is that unreadable schemas get dropped
out of your search_path (rather than throwing errors). So the tables are
there, but unless you're superuser you can't get at them.

I'd suggest a "GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO PUBLIC".

It's still unclear how you got those permissions revoked, but it seems
pretty clear that you didn't really want to do that.
