Hmm. The backend doesn't have any trouble detecting this; I checked
both current sources and 6.5.3:
play=> select * from z1;
f1
--
1
2
(2 rows)
play=> begin;
BEGIN
play=> update z1 set f1 = 3 where f1 = 1;
UPDATE 1
<now in a second psql do>
play=> begin;
BEGIN
play=> update z1 set f1 = 4 where f1 = 2;
UPDATE 1
play=> update z1 set f1 = 3 where f1 = 1;
<second psql is now waiting for first one to commit or abort>
<back in first psql do>
play=> update z1 set f1 = 4 where f1 = 2;
After a second or so, one psql will say
NOTICE: Deadlock detected -- See the lock(l) manual page for a possible cause.
ERROR: WaitOnLock: error on wakeup - Aborting this transaction
and the other will say
UPDATE 1
If you're not getting this behavior, then either your test code is wrong
or there's something broken in the JDBC driver...
