I tried to produce same strange behaviour with no luck:

test=# CREATE TABLE cons_test (u int);
CREATE TABLE

test=# ALTER TABLE cons_test
test-# ADD CONSTRAINT forget_my_name CHECK (u > 10);
ALTER TABLE

test=# SELECT constraint_name
test-#  FROM information_schema.constraint_column_usage
test-# WHERE table_name = 'cons_test' AND
test-#       column_name = 'u';
 constraint_name 
-----------------
 forget_my_name
(1 row)

Also, you cannot see that constraint listed in the \d table_name output,
ain't? Maybe you should try a hardcoded search over consrc column of
pg_catalog.pg_constraint table.
