But this doesn't really get us beyond the "because we say so" given the connection between Informix and PostgreSQL.

It really looks to me like Postges was given the name Object-Relational by Stonebreaker as a way of saying "here's what I am trying to play around with" and the databases which describe themselves in these terms seem either inspired by or forks of Postgres ;-).
