The reason 8.2 is more picky is that the function is less immutable
thanks to the addition of locale-dependent functionality:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-11/msg00264.php

I gather that the underlying column is timestamp without tz, or it would
never have worked in 8.1 either.  That being the case, these index
definitions seem pretty darn stupid anyway --- why aren't you just
indexing on date_trunc or a plain cast to date?
