This is a known 9.2 bug, fixed a month in this commit:
Author: Alvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org>
Branch: master [f5bcd398a] 2012-07-20 14:08:07 -0400
Branch: REL9_2_STABLE [d721f208a] 2012-07-20 14:07:09 -0400
connoinherit may be true only for CHECK constraints
The code was setting it true for other constraints, which is
bogus. Doing so caused bogus catalog entries for such constraints, and
in particular caused an error to be raised when trying to drop a
constraint of types other than CHECK from a table that has children,
such as reported in bug #6712.
In 9.2, additionally ignore connoinherit=true for other constraint
types, to avoid having to force initdb; existing databases might already
contain bogus catalog entries.
Includes a catversion bump (in HEAD only).
Bug report from Miroslav Šulc
Analysis from Amit Kapila and Noah Misch; Amit also contributed the patch.
I cannot reproduce it in 9.2 HEAD or master HEAD. I assume you were
testing with something older than the above commit; the 9.1 branch does
not contain the bug.
