The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 7650
Logged by: James Bellinger
Email address: jfb@zer7.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.5
Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Server
Description:

Not sure this worked last time (I got some DMARC error), but here's a
bug...

If a schema does not exist, DROP TABLE IF EXISTS schema.table will cause the
transaction to fail (due to 'schema does not exist'). End result, DROP TABLE
IF EXISTS is pretty much unusable with schemas. It needs to act the same as
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS does for the default schema.

Have a good day

FYI, this will be fixed in Postgres 9.3.
