What this looks like to me is that you have a SQL function which isn't
protecting itself against changes in search_path. It could fail in any
context where somebody's changed search_path, not just a restore run.
You should consider fully qualifying the table reference in the function's
source code, or adding a "SET search_path" clause to the function
definition.
