That's because it's not in your search_path.  This would work:

regression=# \d information_schema.sql_features
             Table "information_schema.sql_features"
      Column      |               Type                | Modifiers
------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
 feature_id       | information_schema.character_data |
 feature_name     | information_schema.character_data |
 sub_feature_id   | information_schema.character_data |
 sub_feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
 is_supported     | information_schema.character_data |
 is_verified_by   | information_schema.character_data |
 comments         | information_schema.character_data |

or this:

regression=# \d *.sql_features
             Table "information_schema.sql_features"
      Column      |               Type                | Modifiers
------------------+-----------------------------------+-----------
 feature_id       | information_schema.character_data |
 feature_name     | information_schema.character_data |
 sub_feature_id   | information_schema.character_data |
 sub_feature_name | information_schema.character_data |
 is_supported     | information_schema.character_data |
 is_verified_by   | information_schema.character_data |
 comments         | information_schema.character_data |

or add information_schema to search_path:

regression=# set search_path = "$user",public,information_schema;
SET
regression=# \d sql_features
    Table "information_schema.sql_features"
      Column      |      Type      | Modifiers
------------------+----------------+-----------
 feature_id       | character_data |
 feature_name     | character_data |
 sub_feature_id   | character_data |
 sub_feature_name | character_data |
 is_supported     | character_data |
 is_verified_by   | character_data |
 comments         | character_data |

> template1=# \dT+sql_features

\dt and \dT are entirely different things.
