[Charles] : You are right:
testuser@charles.localhost=> INSERT INTO a VALUES ('fails2') RETURNING id;
NOTICE: inside trigger handler
ERROR: new row violates row-level security policy for table "a"
This implies that the returning_id is evaluated before the trigger executes, i.e. Adrian's assumption is probably correct.

[Charles] : In the RLS documentation (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-rowsecurity.html):
"To specify which rows are visible or modifiable according to a policy, an expression is required that returns a Boolean result. This expression will be evaluated for each row prior to any conditions or functions coming from the user's query."
I assume that the returning clause is essentially a condition or function from the user query or it is implemented as such. Therefore the policy is applied prior to it.
The most knowlegdable person on this list on the RLS topic is Stephen Frost. He may shed light on the matter.
