The process you used  to create your database as described below is highly
non-standard, so, I sure would expect that to be part of your pain.
Comments below as to what could be wrong.

Ok. Can you add a  short description of the use-case to support creating it
in an existing database? Maybe we want to support it out of the box,  but
currently there's a bit of tweaking required to get things working and
operational.

It's an error that comes from Roles.sql. There is a step you need to
execute when moving a schema from one database to another, which you didn't
know about:

INSERT INTO defaults VALUES ('role_prefix',
'lsmb_<name-of-your-old-databas>__');

With this executed, it should work.

Hmm. that seems to be another problem; I'll need to look at that one later.
However, you're not likely to encounter this problem when you have the
INSERT statement executed as listed above, so I'm going to mark it as
non-blocking for now.

Yea. Good you did, because chances are slim that you would have found out
about the role_prefix any time soon.
