Are you sure the postmaster is checking the password at all?  It sounds
to me like the postmaster might be selecting some earlier entry in
pg_hba.conf and not using these two.  Did you comment out the default
entry for "local all trust"?  Are you perhaps connecting via IP, rather
than via a Unix socket?
