I take it heakin is the owner of the table in question. As such,
he implicitly has all privileges --- the initial null privilege list
is a shorthand for what you see explicitly in the second case.
The GRANT man page in current development sources has an example about
this; see the Notes section of
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/sql-grant.html
