Well, sure. They are masked by the identically named tables in
test_001. How else would you expect it to work?

I can't see trying to support this at the SQL level. You might consider
making a plpgsql function that constructs a UNION ALL query listing all
the proper schemas and then EXECUTEs it on-the-fly.
Another possible solution is to make all the individual tables be
inheritance children of a master table. Then selecting from the master
would work (and would be equivalent to the UNION performance-wise, I
think).
