You've got the role set to NOINHERIT. This means that it can *become*
agd_select (via SET ROLE) and then use agd_select's privileges, but it
doesn't have use of those privileges without doing SET ROLE.

BTW, when I try this example I get a complaint about schema agd,
not relation clanalis --- so there must be a few more grants you
didn't show us in your system. I'd still guess the NOINHERIT is
the root of your problem though.
