No it is not.
Just in case I tried setting it to 'postgres', logged in without -U (doesn't work without PGUSER set) and tried the operation again.
Same result.

Do you happen to have a PGUSER variable defined in your environment
(that is, in the environment as seen by the OS user the postmaster runs
under)?
