No, SET STORAGE PLAIN is an absolute override, if I recall the code
correctly.  That seems an unlikely explanation though.  What I'd bet on
is a very large number of non-toastable columns.  A thousand or so
float8's would do it for instance.  But this is all speculation without
seeing the table declaration.
