Comment (by fpacheco):

 On Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows:
 I loaded a layer with custom projection (South America LCC: +proj=lcc
 +lat_1=-5 +lat_2=-42 +lat_0=-32 +lon_0=-60 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=aust_SA
 +units=m  no_defs) from a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. Then I selected the
 layer with the mouse. I opened the Python console and wrote
 ''iface.activeLayer().srs().srsid()''. I get the following result
 '''1001'''.

 I loaded a layer with UTM WGS84 15N from a Shape File. Then I selected the
 layer with the mouse. I opened the Python console and wrote
 ''iface.activeLayer().srs().srid()''. I get the following result
 '''2992'''.

 I set a layer's projection by right clicking the layer, selecting
 properties and then selecting Change SRS under the general tab. I changed
 the SRC several times in the same layer and ask again with
 ''iface.activeLayer().srs().srsid()'' and the result always change, then I
 believe that in my case it worked smoothly.

 Could you please send me more information?. Regards, Fernando.
