This problem has appeared since the summer version of PostGIS 2.0. I didn't have this problem before. I think the problem is in the ST_MetaData()  function  which is used by the GDAL driver. I know that this function was modified this summer. The others functions (eg. ST_ScaleX, ST_ScaleY, ST_UpperLeftX...) give good results.

What revisions of PostGIS trunk are you using?  I rewrote the 
ST_Metadata function over the summer and had to tweak it some time 
afterwards due to how the values were getting rounded depending on how 
the C function returned (Datums vs. CStrings).

After digging through the logs, you'll want to be using r7638 
(7/14/2011) or more recent to ensure that your answers are correct.
