I am guessing if you do  show search_path; from psql you will see that

public.people first in that case.

I don't think that's it:

show search_path
-> "$user",public

select SESSION_USER
-> bob

 From the docs:
"The value for search_path must be a comma-separated list of schema
names. If one of the list items is the special value $user, then the
schema having the name returned by SESSION_USER is substituted, if there
is such a schema. (If not, $user is ignored.)"

I see your point, but see below.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/runtime-config-client.html
"
If one of the list items is the special name $user, then the schema having the name returned by SESSION_USER is substituted, if there is such a schema and the user has USAGE permission for it. (If not, $user is ignored.)"

In this version there is the qualifier that the user must have USAGE privileges on the schema. Is that the case?

\dn+ should confirm.



Also:
select * from people
-> returns records from bob.people
