Alright, the first two attempts to reply to this thread I don't believe worked, likely due to the attachment size. Hoping this time it does...

Finally got around to making a self contained example... busy few months.

Attached is a pg_dump file which will create a schema called test, and
load up some real-world data for the specified tables. Extract it,
then load.

Then you can run the following which should hit the condition outlined above:

ANALYZE test.claim;
ANALYZE test.claim_amounts;
ANALYZE test.deduction;
ANALYZE test.deduction_claim;

SELECT *
FROM test.claim
INNER JOIN test.claim_amounts
ON claim.claim_id = claim_amounts.claim_id
LEFT JOIN test.deduction_claim
ON deduction_claim.claim_id = claim.claim_id
AND upper_inf(deduction_claim.active_range)
WHERE claim.claim_id = ANY (
