Increasing the statistics target for that table (or default_statistics_target) might help.

That's a static value! ::cry:: If you're using plpgsql, it should be turning that update into a prepared statement and then binding the variable to it. That means that if you pass in different values in the same session, you could end up with bad plans depending on the valuse, since it will cache the query plan. Actually, come to think of it... I'm not sure if bound parameters are used in query planning... -- Jim C.
