Ok. ;) A little further investigation revealed that template0 gives the
same result. It's potentially confusing that template0 is initialized
this way - I couldn't find any indication of such in the manual. In
fact, from CREATE DATABASE:
In particular, by writing TEMPLATE template0, you can create a virgin
database containing only the standard objects predefined by your version
of PostgreSQL.
I guess I'm just surprised that template0 would have *any* ACLs set
(aside from those needed by system catalogs, etc.). It seems to be
favoring convenience by default instead of security by default.
