This kind of unstable behavior can be seen if the SET may not be
executed by the same session (same connection to the server) as the
subsequent queries.
SET affects only the session it's being run in.
For instance a connection pooler configured in statement mode may
produce that behavior. The solution in the case of a connection pooler
is to group related statements into a transaction.
Maybe pgAdmin has a pooler like that, but if you're issuing the statements
in the same SQL window, I would find it quite surprising that it doesn't
run them by the same session.
Or maybe you're mixing queries from different SQL windows that each
have their own connection, and in some cases you do the SET
in a window and the INSERT in another window.
Or maybe it's a pgAdmin bug.
