Ok, you're missing write privileges on pg_depend; we didn't check that.
I added code to svn to support this, thanks for reporting.

Apparently, after the initial implementation of pgAdmin's add column 
code (for 7.3), adding serial and bigserial to existing tables has been 
implemented; formerly, this didn't work.
Dave, I only have 8.0+ servers running, can you check when ALTER TABLE 
xxx ADD COLUMN xxx serial was introduced, for 7.4 or 8.0?

In the meanwhile, dlgColumn.cpp:285 assumes pgsql>= 8.0.
