Hmm, works for me. What version of Postgres are you using?
Example:
[doug@scooby doug]$ psql -E template1
********* QUERY *********
SELECT usesuper FROM pg_user WHERE usename = 'doug'
*************************
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
template1=# \d
********* QUERY *********
SELECT c.relname as "Name", 'table'::text as "Type", u.usename as "Owner"
FROM pg_class c, pg_user u
WHERE c.relowner = u.usesysid AND c.relkind = 'r'
AND c.relname !~ '^pg_'
UNION
SELECT c.relname as "Name", 'table'::text as "Type", NULL as "Owner"
FROM pg_class c
WHERE c.relkind = 'r'
AND not exists (select 1 from pg_user where usesysid = c.relowner)
AND c.relname !~ '^pg_'
UNION
