I just realized that I was having a slight brain-freeze earlier.
ActiveRecord creates an A object first, then tells pg to INSERT it, but
nothing is actually returned by the INSERT statement. (I assume that
Hibernate et. al would be the same). So of course it does not see the
result of the trigger, since it does not receive a result from the
database...until reload is called.
At least I assume that is correct.

The problem is that the new A object that rails gets does not see the

everything is ok.
As ActiveRecord (which I'm assuming you're using with Rails) has no
idea of what is going on in the database (ActiveRecord doesn't have a
concept of triggers), there's no way for it to see the effect of the
trigger without querying the database for the latest information
(which is what you're doing with reload).
