OK, now it looks like this:
andrew=# drop table blurflx;
ERROR: table "blurflx" does not exist
andrew=# drop table if exists blurflx;
NOTICE: table "blurflx" does not exist, skipping
DROP TABLE
andrew=# create table blurflx ( x text);
CREATE TABLE
andrew=# drop table if exists blurflx;
DROP TABLE
andrew=# drop table blurflx;
ERROR: table "blurflx" does not exist

DROP TABLE
If I read MySQL's documentation correctly, they emit a NOTE (equivalent
of a NOTICE message I suppose) when IF EXISTS does nothing because the
table doesn't exist. Seems like we should do likewise --- your second
example here seems actively misleading. That is, I'd rather see
andrew=# drop table if exists blurflx;
NOTICE: table "blurflx" does not exist, skipping
DROP TABLE
