Thanks for your fixing. The issue is fixed as you said.

After applying your V13 patch. I noticed that if I specify duplicate schema names when using "ALTER PUBLICATION ... SET SCHEMA ...", I would get the following error message:

postgres=# ALTER PUBLICATION pub1 SET SCHEMA s1,s1;
ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pg_publication_sch_psnspcid_pspubid_index"
DETAIL:  Key (psnspcid, pspubid)=(16406, 16405) already exists.

I think the error message is pretty hard to understand. Maybe we can do sth to improve this scenario.

Here is two proposal:
1. Don't report error message, just add some code to make the above command to be executed successfully, 
   just like "ALTER PUBLICATION ... SET TABLE ..." as follolws:

postgres=# ALTER PUBLICATION pub2 SET TABLE t1,t1;
ALTER PUBLICATION
postgres=# \dRp+ pub2
                                   Publication pub2
  Owner   | All tables | Inserts | Updates | Deletes | Truncates | Via root | Pubtype
----------+------------+---------+---------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
 postgres | f          | t       | t       | t       | t         | f        | t
Tables:
    "public.t1"

2. Report a easily understandable message like: Schema s1 specified more than once

Thoughts?
