No. You need session_replication_role, or you need to alter the system 
tables. Both need superuser access. The only way around is to use 
security definer, as you indicated above. You want to avoid modifying 
pg_class if at all possible. That way was ugly. :)

I don't think there is anything else offhand that needs superuser 
privs, but if you get (a) or (b) above, I'm sure you will be able 
to find out quick. :)

If they go with (b) we can modify Bucardo to conditionally call the function 
rather than the set.
