Oh?  I read in hba.c

    if (getsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED, &peercred, &so_len) != 0 ||
        so_len != sizeof(peercred))
    {
        /* We didn't get a valid credentials struct. */
        ereport(LOG,
                (errcode_for_socket_access(),
                 errmsg("could not get peer credentials: %m")));
        return false;
    }

    pass = getpwuid(peercred.uid);

so it sure looks like we *are* using getpwuid.
