Uh, no.  The problem is that the IS NULL condition matched all 48 rows
of the table, but the planner thought it would only match one row.  This
is definitely covered by the pg_stats statistics, and with only 48 live
rows there couldn't possibly have been any sampling error, so what the
heck went wrong there?
