You're missing something.  Check which port you are actually talking to.

I do this all the time --- my development machine standardly has half a
dozen postmasters running on it, one for each major release 7.0-current.
They do not impinge on each other at all.  It helps to build each
release from source so that you can set a different install prefix and
default port number for each one.
