Really?
Is there logic in ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA that rejects the command
dependent on the contents of the publication tables? If so, are
there locks taken in both ALTER TABLE SET SCHEMA and the
publication-modifying commands that are sufficient to prevent
race conditions in such changes?
This position sounds quite untenable from here, even if I found
your arguments-in-support convincing, which I don't really.
ISTM the rule should be along the lines of "table S.T should
be published either if schema S is published or S.T itself is".
There's no obvious need to interconnect the two conditions.
