No - it should return a row. That means that the schema doesn't exist
in the database you're connected to. The first query should work for
any user, regardless of what permissions you have on the schema
(because the query is looking at the catalogs, not the schema itself).

Unfortunately you didn't show the psql prompt when you ran the query
using your normal user account, but I'll bet you're not connecting to
the postgres database like the postgres user is. That would explain
why you can't see the schema, but postgres can.
