Yes. I copied provided user definition which invokes delete command from 
pgadmin
code window for this user .

postgres log file contains two lines:

ERROR:  permission denied to reassign objects
STATEMENT:  reassign owned by vantaa to postgres

No objects are mentioned.
I can change log level if this helps.

It was something like:

create script:

CREATE ROLE vantaa;
grant idd_owner to vantaa;

reset roles script:

revoke all on all tables in schema public,firma1 from vantaa cascade;
revoke all on all sequences in schema public,firma1 from vantaa cascade;
revoke all on database idd  from public,firma1 cascade;
revoke all on all functions in schema public,firma1 from vantaa cascade;
revoke all on schema public,firma1 from vantaa cascade;
revoke idd_owner  from vantaa cascade;
ALTER ROLE vantaa inherit NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB NOLOGIN;

grant all on all tables in schema public,firma1 to vantaa;
grant all on all sequences in schema public,firma1 to vantaa;
grant all on database idd  to vantaa;
grant all on schema public,firma1 to vantaa;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public,firma1  GRANT all ON TABLES TO 
vantaa;
-- Restrict some tables:
revoke all on  kasutaja,kaspriv,logifail from vantaa cascade;
grant select on kaspriv,kasutaja to vantaa;
grant update (eesnimi, nimi,email,amet,islocked,telefon,language,vabakuup) 
on kasutaja to vantaa;
grant insert on logifail to vantaa;
