autoanalyze runs with a restrictive search_path setting.

This suggests that your function isn't being sufficiently careful
to schema-qualify names it uses.  (If you don't want to change the
function text, adding a SET clause to force the desired search_path
would work, though it does carry a bit of performance penalty.)
