See my reply to Carson's mail...

I probably know what's the problem. I think there's missing a mapping
of column indices. If the provider has 3 columns, they could be e.g.
0,1,3 - but the attribute table asks for 0,1,2. This is sometimes a
case with postgresql, as the indices for columns are not reused (you
can check in postgis manager whether there is a hole or the problem is
really related to Numeric type.

Not necessary, I'll keep it on our todo list...
