I guess the confusing bit is that the report does not claim that those
queries are expected to produce the same result, but that the parameter
value affects which plan gets selected, and one of those plans produces
incorrect result.
I think the simplest explanation might be that one of the indexes on
part_fa_entity is corrupted and fails to lookup some rows by partno.
That would explain why the plan with seqscan works fine, but nestloop
with index scan is missing these rows.
They might try a couple things:
1) set enable_nestloop=off, see if the results get correct
2) try bt_index_check on i_39773, might notice some corruption
3) rebuild the index
If it's not this, they'll need to build a reproducer. It's really
difficult to deduce what's going on just from query plans for different
parameter values.
