As you mention in your followup, the database's default tablespace is
'my_space', so the table is actually in the correct tablespace.
For implementation reasons, we force tables that are placed in the
database's default tablespace to be recorded as "stored in database's
tablespace", which shows up as blank in pg_tables. That means that if you
change the database's tablespace the table will move along with the
rest of the database. You might consider that either a feature or a
bug depending on your use-case, but that's how it works ...
