Maybe you missed an ANALYZE after migrating?  The plan difference
seems to be due to a vast difference in rowcount estimate for the
m_elevations condition:

If you don't know where that factor-of-1000 came from, maybe take
it up with the postgis folk.  It'd mostly be coming out of their
selectivity estimation routines.
