That's because SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION looks to the original login
userid, not the current effective userid, to decide whether you're
allowed to do it.  If it didn't work that way, a superuser couldn't
switch to any other identity after becoming a nonprivileged user.

I don't really see why you think this kluge is better than creating
multiple database users, anyway ...
