That's because pgAdmin is issuing "DROP TABLE pg_class" instead of "DROP
TABLE public.pg_class". By the way, is there any reason for not using
the namespace?
I don't know if it's the best way but this little proof of concept fix
might be applied to all objects that can be created inside a schema. I
could provide I patch if you want it.
