This sounds more like a MS-Access Visual Basic Coding problem.  Any ODBC related error messages are really PostgreSQL error messages that are relayed to you.   What you are describing here doesn't sound any thing like and ODBC or PostgreSQL error.

They say they dont do anything special. Just clicking a checkbox or
trying to jump to the next record would do to trigger the error.
Later the same action won't cause any trouble, so I can't crack this in
debug-mode. Here on my box it always works as expected.

 
How are you binding the form to the user controls?  Are you linking from linked tables, linked DAO recordsets, or linked ADO recordsets?

Could someone here give a hint?

I would start by looking for code in the form that might be calling the form's recordset UPDATE or CancelUpdate method.  

Also,  if this is a access problem, I would check out this site for further information:  www.utteraccess.com
