Works for me:
regression=# create table mtable (mvar int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# create table c1 (check (mvar > 0 and mvar <= 10)) inherits(mtable);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# create table c2 (check (mvar > 10 and mvar <= 20)) inherits(mtable);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# explain select * from mtable where mvar = 3 or mvar = 4;
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------
Append (cost=0.00..48.25 rows=26 width=4)
-> Seq Scan on mtable (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=4)
Filter: ((mvar = 3) OR (mvar = 4))
-> Seq Scan on c1 (cost=0.00..48.25 rows=25 width=4)
Filter: ((mvar = 3) OR (mvar = 4))
(5 rows)
regression=# explain select * from mtable where mvar in (3, 4);
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------
Append (cost=0.00..41.88 rows=27 width=4)
-> Seq Scan on mtable (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=4)

-> Seq Scan on c1 (cost=0.00..41.88 rows=26 width=4)
Filter: (mvar = ANY ('{3,4}'::integer[]))
(5 rows)

I speculate that you've got some sort of datatype mismatch problem, but
without seeing an exact example it's hard to diagnose.
