    It's the OID of the real row that got stored into relation v.

    Do a

      DROP RULE "_RETv";
      SELECT * FROM v;

    and you'll get back your (17,'q') row.

    Maybe you should read now some chapters  in  the  programmers
    manual  about  the  implementation  of views, the rule system
    etc.
