Your test case does not show that.  I think you missed this paragraph:

: If a superuser chooses to issue a GRANT or REVOKE command, the command
: is performed as though it were issued by the owner of the affected
: object. In particular, privileges granted via such a command will appear
: to have been granted by the object owner. (For role membership, the
: membership appears to have been granted by the containing role itself.)
