Well originally it was searching indexes rather than constraints, and
funcdeps_check_pk() included the following check:

if (!indexStruct->indisprimary || !indexStruct->indimmediate)continue;

Now its looping over pg_constraint entries, so I guess anything wtih
con->condeferrable == true should be ignored.
