Oh, this is stupid. An user can't have a different password for each database. I was confused by reading too quickly these phrases (fom http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/auth-methods.html):

PostgreSQL database passwords are separate from operating system user passwords. The password for each database user is stored in the pg_authid system catalog.[...]

An user has an unique password, that's all. If he is owner of several databases, the same password would be used for all of them.

Then, I reject this bug.
