I'm sorry, I was using the version of SQLAlchemy provided by my
distribution, and didn't realize just how old it was (0.4.8).
SQLAlchemy 0.5.5 and trunk exhibit the correct behavior:
engine = create_engine('mysql://localhost/library')
metadata = MetaData(bind=engine)
table = Table('child', metadata, autoload=True, schema='people')
print metadata.tables.keys() # => ['people.child',
u'people.parent']
(For reference, I was using MySQL 5.0.75.)
