Yeah, 7.3.2 has some problems with rules that issue multiple commands of
the same type (like your INSERTs) :-(.  This was just noticed and fixed
about a week ago:

2003-02-14 16:12  tgl

    * src/backend/executor/: spi.c (REL7_3_STABLE), spi.c: Fix SPI
    result logic for case where there are multiple statements of the
    same type in a rule.  Per bug report from Pavel Hanak.

If you pull down the latest 7.3 branch version of spi.c from
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/executor/spi.c

things should work again for you.

Sorry about that :-( ... this was an unexpected side effect of a bug fix
back in January ...
