Works for me. Maybe you've got some schema search path confusion,
or some such? "\dp foo" in psql might be enlightening, too. What
I see is

regression=> \dp foo
Access privileges
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges
--------+------+-------+-----------------------+--------------------------
public | foo | table | select=r/insert +|
| | | insert=arwdDxt/insert |
(1 row)
