Allowing the database owner to login seems definately wrong: it's not unusual for many of the normal database clients to run as the owner of the database they operate on. So this would effectively disable the max_connections limit in this situation. I don't see a major problem with allowing postgres to login if the connection limit is hit (although I'm not sure it's worth the worry, when 'kill a backend executing SELECT ; psql template1 postgres' works as-is).
