The rowcount estimates from 9.2 seem greatly different from the 8.4 plan. Did you remember to ANALYZE all the tables after migrating? Maybe there were some table-specific statistics targets that you forgot to transfer over?
No, I did not. Honestly I though everything would be transfered with a dump/restore procedure. Unfortunatly running ANALYZE VERBOSE on all involved tables did not really improve anything.

me :-( ... without estimates at least a little closer to reality, the planner is unlikely to do anything very sane. (BTW, I wonder why you are moving only to 9.2 and not something more recent.)
Well, 9.2.15 is what comes bundled with RHEL 7, so I decided to go with that to avoid dependency issues. But I could install a more fresh version from scratch if that would solve my problem.
