I have found the table where views are roles- permissions are stored and I checked it automatically and still permissions are identical i.e. the following query returns 0 rows
SELECT grantor, grantee, table_catalog, table_schema, is_grantable, with_hierarchy FROM information_schema.role_table_grants WHERE table_name = 'view1' except SELECT grantor, grantee, table_catalog, table_schema, is_grantable, with_hierarchy FROM information_schema.role_table_grants WHERE table_name = 'view2' union SELECT grantor, grantee, table_catalog, table_schema, is_grantable, with_hierarchy FROM information_schema.role_table_grants WHERE table_name = 'view2' except SELECT grantor, grantee, table_catalog, table_schema, is_grantable, with_hierarchy FROM information_schema.role_table_grants WHERE table_name = 'view1'; Do you think there is a bug or something like that...

The owner of the views is not me, But I am a super user VIEW2's reference to VIEW1 is checked according to the permissions granted to the owner of VIEW2. Whether the ultimate caller is a superuser doesn't affect this. regards, tom lane
