Hmm. The search_path setting seems to have been added here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2002-10/msg00118.phphttp://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/contrib/pgbench/pgbench.c.diff?r1=1.20;r2=1.21
as part of a mass patch to make everything in contrib work in the public

pg_bench should do that; but does anyone see a reason not to change it?
