That's not a bug, it's a feature (as they say).

Although you can automatically generate sequences with the serial pseudo 
-type, they are separate objects. Not only can you create them 
separately from a table, you can have many columns using 
nextval('my_sequence') as their default.

I suppose you could argue that a sequence only used by one table could 
inherit that table's permissions by default, but I can see problems when 
people reorder GRANT statements.
