I dont know about that query - I dont have sys_flex_labels but this
seems to work:
select pc.relname as tablename, pa.attname as column, pd.description
from pg_description pd, pg_class pc, pg_attribute pa
where pc.relowner = 16403
and pa.attrelid = pc.oid
and pd.objoid = pc.oid
and pd.objsubid = pa.attnum
where I had to figure out the relowner and my schema owner

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
