Grants done by a superuser on an object he doesn't own are treated as
being done by the object owner instead.  Otherwise you end up with
grants that don't have a clear chain of traceability to the owner,
which causes all sorts of un-fun issues for REVOKE.  (I'm too lazy
to come up with the details right now, but if you care you can look
back in the pgsql-hackers archives to find the discussions where this
behavior was agreed on.)
