The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 5545
Logged by: Niranjan Pandit
Email address: smartnp81(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4
Operating system: Fedora 13
Description: permission denied on delete
Details:

role A is member of role B, role B has delete privilege also the select
privilege on the id field of the table. when logged in with role A and set
role to B, the permission is still denied to delete a record, any ideas why
is permission denied ?

the set role is in a security invoker function before the delete statement.
Could this be related in anyway ?

I tried it here and it worked for me. Can you provide a
self-contained test case?
