I'm wondering if there are two Postgres instances on the machine,
and the apparent inconsistency comes from connecting to one or the other.

A different line of thought is that connections from inside and outside
the chroot are getting different treatment in pg_hba.conf.

In any case, debugging this from the client's perspective is almost
impossible, because the server intentionally doesn't give a lot of
detail about why authentication failed.  You need to be looking at
the postmaster log, possibly with log_min_messages cranked up.
