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!
