Version 7.1.3 (release tarball) on development machine -- Error
        7.2.1 on production machine (7.2.1-2 Debian)   -- Works

I can't easily upgrade the development machine in the near future, but this
at least gives more ammunition.  If you know of any good workaround besides
just GRANT ALL on <each_table> TO test_cib_admin, (which works) I'ld appreciate
hearing about it.

Script:
CREATE USER test_cib_unauth;
CREATE USER test_cib_auth;
CREATE USER test_cib_admin;
CREATE GROUP test_cib_all;
CREATE GROUP test_cib_trusted;
ALTER GROUP test_cib_all ADD USER test_cib_unauth, test_cib_auth, test_cib_admin;
ALTER GROUP test_cib_trusted ADD USER test_cib_auth, test_cib_admin;

CREATE TABLE users (
   userid    SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
   statusid  INT,
   siteadmin BOOLEAN,
   username  TEXT,
   hashed    TEXT,
   email     TEXT);
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON users            FROM PUBLIC;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT  ON users            TO GROUP test_cib_all;
GRANT UPDATE          ON users_userid_seq TO GROUP test_cib_all;
GRANT UPDATE          ON users            TO GROUP test_cib_trusted;
GRANT DELETE          ON users            TO test_cib_admin;
\c - test_cib_admin
SELECT * FROM users;

--- END SCRIPT ---
Output on 7.1.3.
