I tried to duplicate this example, but it still works fine for me.

This makes me suspicious, because you are evidently using an 8.0 (or
older) psql; 8.1's \du output does not look like that. While using an
old psql with a new backend shouldn't affect the behavior of GRANT,
I wonder whether this is a symptom of pilot error at another level.
Is it possible that you are talking to an 8.0 postmaster as one user
and an 8.1 postmaster as the other user? Then the two "testdb1"
databases wouldn't be the same database at all. You can use
"select version()" and "show data_directory" to positively confirm
the identity of the postmaster you are connected to.

I believe this only shows stuff that is in your search path, which the
usermgr schema wouldn't be by default for enduser. Try
\dp usermgr.*
