Not sure. Is it possible that the schema is renamed while the operation is being executed? If it's not then this not a problem at all so the existing patch is fine.
I doubt if accessMethod name will change. The tableSpace name can change, but the possibility is no worse to doing a [CREATE TABLE table_name ... TABLESPACE tablespace]. So this should be reasonably ok.
