So what does the sequence query show?

As an example in psql:

test=# create table serial_test(id serial PRIMARY KEY, fld_1 varchar);
CREATE TABLE

test=# \d serial_test
Table "public.serial_test"
Column | Type | Modifiers

--------+-------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default
nextval('serial_test_id_seq'::regclass)
fld_1 | character varying |
Indexes:
"serial_test_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

The above shows that the sequence associated with the serial type is:
'serial_test_id_seq'

The below shows how to select from that sequence:

test=# select * from serial_test_id_seq ;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-+--------------------
sequence_name | serial_test_id_seq
last_value | 1
start_value | 1
increment_by | 1
max_value | 9223372036854775807
min_value | 1
cache_value | 1
log_cnt | 0
is_cycled | f
is_called | f

Can you do that on the serial column from one the affected tables and
post the results here?
