Actually, that looks suspiciously familiar, and looking at my
LocalSettings.php, $wgDBmwschema *is* present. I never set it; it's a
default under the "Postgres specific settings" block and has been carried
over from install to install for years. (I have no idea how old that is; I
probably first installed MediaWiki back in 2008, maybe?) I'll try removing
that and see if that works.
