It's hard to be sure with this amount of detail, but I think
what is happening is that your view invokes a plpgsql function
and that function is sensitive to the active search_path.
postgres_fdw runs the remote session with minimal search path
(i.e., search_path = 'pg_catalog'), so a function that tries
to reference something in 'public' is not gonna work unless
it provides an explicit schema-qualification or a function-local
setting of search_path.
