My question regarding a potential consequence of this is posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2238954/mdb2-says-connection-failed-db-logs-say-otherwise , but I didn't realize this was happening when I asked that question, and I figured this [part of the] problem is for SF.
Edit: I can connect to the database and manipulate things normally with the psql CLI and the postgres user.
