The problem (at least as it appears to me) is not that it is performing
a table scan instead of an index scan, it is that it is using the wrong
index.  Here is the output from EXPLAIN ANALYZE:

                                                                         QUERY PLAN

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Unique  (cost=494008.47..494037.59 rows=166 width=54) (actual time=114660.37..114660.38 rows=1 loops=1)
   ->  Sort  (cost=494008.47..494012.63 rows=1664 width=54) (actual time=114660.37..114660.37 rows=1 loops=1)
         Sort Key: f.name, fl.fmin, fl.fmax, fl.strand, f.type_id, f.feature_id
         ->  Nested Loop  (cost=0.00..493919.44 rows=1664 width=54) (actual time=2596.13..114632.90 rows=1 loops=1)
               ->  Index Scan using feature_pkey on feature f  (cost=0.00..134601.43 rows=52231 width=40) (actual
time=105.74..56048.87rows=13825 loops=1) 
                     Filter: (type_id = 219)
               ->  Index Scan using featureloc_idx1 on featureloc fl  (cost=0.00..6.87 rows=1 width=14) (actual
time=4.23..4.23rows=0 loops=13825) 
                     Index Cond: ("outer".feature_id = fl.feature_id)
                     Filter: ((srcfeature_id = 6) AND (fmin <= 2585581) AND (fmax >= 2565581))
 Total runtime: 114660.91 msec

This is the same regardless of enable_seqscan's setting.  The index that
it is using on featureloc (featureloc_idx1) is on the foreign key
feature_id.  It should instead be using another index, featureloc_idx3,
which is built on (srcfeature_id, fmin, fmax).

I should also mention that I've done a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE on this
database, and I've been using it for a while, and this is the primary
type of query I perform on the database.

Thanks,
Scott
