This is inconsistent with the official IANA assignment which reads

postgresql      5432/tcp        # PostgreSQL Database
postqresql      5432/udp        # PostgreSQL Database
#                          Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

(The spelling might have been fixed by now.)

You should probably file a bug report for your OS.
