7.4.12 is the latest in that branch; it contains several bug fixes
since 7.4.9.

What's the output of the following command?
SELECT ctid, xmin, xmax, * FROM hierarchy WHERE id >= 5077 ORDER BY id;

Does the same query return different results depending on whether
you use an index scan or a sequential scan? What do you get for
these queries?
SET enable_seqscan TO on;
SET enable_indexscan TO off;
SELECT ctid, xmin, xmax, * FROM hierarchy WHERE id >= 5077;
SELECT ctid, xmin, xmax, * FROM hierarchy WHERE id = 5077;
SET enable_seqscan TO off;
SET enable_indexscan TO on;
SELECT ctid, xmin, xmax, * FROM hierarchy WHERE id >= 5077;
SELECT ctid, xmin, xmax, * FROM hierarchy WHERE id = 5077;
