Just an update here. I did downgrade postgres on testbox to 8.4.8 and
now it's choosing bad plan there too.

So we upgraded postgres on production server and the bad plan went away.
We're preparing for upgrade to 9.1 now, we hope to offload some of the
SELECTs to the slave server, we'll see how that will work.

Thank you for your inputs!
