This sounds like the search path didn't get recomputed when you created
the new schema, but I cannot reproduce any such problem:

regression=# create user tstuser;
CREATE USER
regression=# grant create on database regression to tstuser;
GRANT
regression=# \c - tstuser
You are now connected as new user "tstuser".
regression=> select current_schemas(true);
   current_schemas
---------------------
 {pg_catalog,public}
(1 row)

regression=> create schema tstuser;
CREATE SCHEMA
regression=> CREATE TABLE test (name char(8)) ;
CREATE TABLE
regression=> \dt test
        List of relations
 Schema  | Name | Type  |  Owner
---------+------+-------+---------
 tstuser | test | table | tstuser
(1 row)

regression=> select current_schemas(true);
       current_schemas
-----------------------------
 {pg_catalog,tstuser,public}
(1 row)

Are you sure you spelled the schema name the same as the user name?
