No, not a bug if you understand that prepared statements resolve
symbolic things like schema/object names into OIDs that are frozen by
the prepare.
You didn't mention what version you're on.
I did a similar test though using plain SQL prepared statements and
was surprised though to find that the DISCARD PLANS statement issued
after changing the search_path did nothing to change this behavior.
To wit;
create schema s1;
create schema s2;
create table s1.t (a int);
insert into s1.t values (1);
create table s2.t (a int);
set search_path to s1;
prepare foo as select a from t;
execute foo;
set search_path to s2;
discard plans;
execute foo;
drop schema s1 cascade;
drop schema s2 cascade;
