Because that's what currval() does.  It doesn't have anything to do
with sequence values in other sessions.  It gives you the last value
*you* got for thee sequence, so if you haven't called nextval() yet
you should and do get an error.

Maybe it should have been called lastval(), but that could be a bit
misleading too...
