The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 16252
Logged by: Filip Vukovinski
Email address: filip.vukovinski@net.hr
PostgreSQL version: 12.0
Operating system: Windows 10 18362
Description:

The %I format specifier for identifiers, does not handle table schema
prefixes.

sure. It is expected. Nobody can detect if "." inside name means part of
name or special symbol.

If you want to handle schema, you should to write some

format("SELECT * FROM %I.%I", schema_name, table_name);

For identifier separation, you can use "parse_ident" function

postgres=# SELECT parse_ident('a.b.cax."ass.ss"');
┌──────────────────┐
│ parse_ident │
╞══════════════════╡
│ {a,b,cax,ass.ss} │
└──────────────────┘
(1 row)
