If I temporarily create a beta.table_a then I get to create the function and afterwards it does the right thing. It also works fine with a pl/pgsql function - presumably it's all down to context on the initial parse.

I can't think of a way to exploit this maliciously, or do anything other than cause a little confusion, but I'm not sure it's intentional.
