The fix had to do with connecting as the "insert" user, then setting the default privs. My mistake was to run the "alter default privileges..." as the superuser.

Reconnect as user "insert", then... create table foo (a text); insert into foo (a) values ('aaa'); Disconnect. Reconnect as user "select", expecting to be able to select contents of the "foo" table, but fails with "permission denied for relation foo". Bottom line is that I want the "select" user to be able to query any table, sequence or use any function created by user "insert". Thanks for any help !
