Are you sure used GRANT correctly. I've checked on a fresh table and when I:

GRANT SELECT,INSERT ON fresh_table TO a_user;

I get \z showing:

fresh_table | {=,a_user=ar,the_creator=arwdRxt}

and a_user can happily insert.

Another possibility could be that there's a trigger doing something that is
giving rise to that error.
