Hmm, it does(in 8.1.0) if you just say "\d+" without an argument:
newschm3=# comment on table fffg is 'the rain';
newschm3=# \d+
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner | Description
--------+--------------------------+-------+----------+-------------
public | fffg | table | postgres | the rain
public | group_run_limit | table | postgres |
public | hold_log | table | postgres |
...
But not if you specify the object:
newschm3=# \d+ fffg
Table "public.fffg"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Description
--------+---------+-----------+-------------
t | text | |
i | integer | |
This seems a bit like a bug to me...
