Ah so.

+1 for this approach. I'm a bit surprised we didn't hit this before,
because in general there can be multiple dependency chains leading from
object A to object B. Most code that is doing more than trivial
dependency-walking has to be prepared to cope with reaching the same
object multiple times.
Implementation like this seems reasonable:

We already have some such shortcut for ALTER OWNER, IIRC, so why not
for SET SCHEMA as well? I suspect that AlterRelationNamespaceInternal
is not the only function that needs it, too.
