Hmm, that ought to be enough to activate the better selectivity
estimator.
Unless ... did you update this database from a pre-8.2 DB that already
had contrib/ltree in it? If so, did you just load the existing old
definition of ltree as part of your dump, or did you install 8.2's
version fresh? I'm wondering if you have a definition of operator <@
that doesn't specify the new selectivity estimator. Please try a
pg_dump -s and see what it shows as the definition of <@.
