I was having the same problem. In pg_hba.conf I had the following lines:
local all password .superusers
local design password .pg_design
I switched the order of the lines so that the "local all" was last and that
fixed the problem
local design password .pg_design
local all password .superusers
I don't know if that will help you out or not.
