You're still not being specific enough, because as closely as I can
reproduce your example, it works fine:

regression=# CREATE SEQUENCE seq;
CREATE
regression=# CREATE TABLE base (
regression(# att1 int default nextval('seq'),
regression(# att2 text,
regression(# attn varchar);
CREATE
regression=# CREATE VIEW vie AS select * from base
regression-# WHERE attn = CURRENT_USER::varchar;
CREATE
regression=# create user usr;
CREATE USER
regression=# GRANT SELECT ON vie TO usr;
GRANT
regression=# \c - usr
You are now connected as new user usr.
regression=> select * from base;
ERROR: base: Permission denied.
regression=> select * from vie;
att1 | att2 | attn
------+------+------
(0 rows)

regression=>

It's not apparent to me what you did differently from the above
to cause a permissions problem.
