Hmm, it does(in 8.1.0) if you just say  "\d+" without an argument:
newschm3=# comment on table fffg is 'the rain';
newschm3=# \d+                        List of relationsSchema |           Name           | Type  |  Owner   |
Description
 
--------+--------------------------+-------+----------+-------------public | fffg                     | table |
postgres| the rainpublic | group_run_limit          | table | postgres | public | hold_log                 | table |
postgres| 
 
...

But not if you specify the object:

newschm3=#  \d+ fffg           Table "public.fffg"Column |  Type   | Modifiers | Description 
--------+---------+-----------+-------------t      | text    |           | i      | integer |           | 

This seems a bit like a bug to me...
