If I temporarily create a beta.table_a then I get to create the function
and afterwards it does the right thing. It also works fine with a
pl/pgsql function - presumably it's all down to context on the initial
parse.
I can't think of a way to exploit this maliciously, or do anything other
than cause a little confusion, but I'm not sure it's intentional.
