I don't think rules really work for this purpose.

Even from your 7.1.3 example, notice that you don't really have a
functional key linking the two, rowid=(1,3,5) in dbmodlog and (2,4,6) in
id.

And even replace NEW.id with a call to currval which might work for single
row cases fails for multiple row inserts.  I'd suggest converting to using
a trigger.
