Slightly off-topic, but I think your tuning settings are a bit out. You've got
4MB allocated to shared_buffers but 128MB allocated to sort_mem? And only
80MB to effective_cache_size? Your settings might be right, but you'd need a
very strange set of circumstances.
As for PG silently discarding inserts, your best bet might be to write a short
Perl script to reproduce the problem. Without that, people are likely to be
sceptical - if PG tended to do this sort of thing, none of us would use it.
