Yeah, the documentation clearly states that "the new owner of a FOR
ALL TABLES or FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA publication must be a
superuser" [0].

I don't think the name CheckSchemaPublication() accurately describes
what this function is doing. I would suggest something like
PublicationHasSchema() or PublicationContainsSchema(). Also, much of
this new function appears to be copied from GetPublicationSchemas().
Should we just use that instead?

I think this test setup can be simplified a bit:
CREATE ROLE regress_publication_user3 LOGIN;
GRANT regress_publication_user2 TO regress_publication_user3;
SET client_min_messages = 'ERROR';
CREATE PUBLICATION testpub4 FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA pub_test;
RESET client_min_messages;
ALTER PUBLICATION testpub4 OWNER TO regress_publication_user3;
SET ROLE regress_publication_user3;
