Works for me:

regression=# create table a (A_primary_col int primary key);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "a_pkey" for 
table "a"
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into a values (1),(2),(3);
INSERT 0 3
regression=# create table b (B_primary_col text primary key, a_reference int 
references a on delete cascade);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "b_pkey" for 
table "b"
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into b values('A',1),('B',2),('C',3);
INSERT 0 3
regression=# DELETE FROM A;
DELETE 3
regression=# select * from a;
 a_primary_col 
---------------
(0 rows)

regression=# select * from b;
 b_primary_col | a_reference 
---------------+-------------
(0 rows)

regression=# insert into a values (4);        
INSERT 0 1
regression=# insert into b values('A',4);                
INSERT 0 1

I suspect a mistake on your part.  If you can actually reproduce this
problem, please show an exact test case, not hand-waving.
