It's not really a bug, but it is quite annoying.

The problem is here.  You returned null in a BEFORE trigger which
cancels the insert.  As far as PostgreSQL is concerned, you didn't
insert anything into this table (because you didn't) and so it correctly
but annoyingly returns 0.

To get this effect, which I believe is required for Hibernate and some
other frameworks, you need to create a view with an INSTEAD OF trigger
that inserts into the table, which then get rerouted with your BEFORE
trigger.  Then you insert into the view and get the desired result.
