QSqlTableModel.setTable() fails with PostgreSQL 12

I don't know if this is a duplicate of QTBUG-79033 or not, but setTable() comes first:

model = QtSql.QSqlTableModel()
db = model.database()
logging.debug("Data base tables: %s", db.tables()) # <-- correct answer
model.setTable("****") # <-- name is contained in the list from db.tables()
logging.debug("Message by model.setTable: %s",
              model.lastError().text()) # <-- error, see below

Result of running this:

DEBUG:root:Data base tables: ['t_manip', 't_spiel', 't_stamm', 't_ewtab', 't_pps', 't_tab']
DEBUG:root:Message by model.setTable: Unable to find table t_ewtab

This is Python with PyQt5, not C++ with Qt, but I don't think that makes a difference.
