But that is what happens.

The permissions are transferred to the new owner, so the old owner doesn't
have any privileges on the object (and, in your case, cannot connect to
the database any more).

Laurenz,
may be better with an example to explain what I mean with "the old database owner loses all his privileges on it (even connection) although it might
still owns schemas or objects (tables, index,...) inside it"
