Right.

changes in the objects table are more or less the same (in volume) day
to day.
as for good plan. sure. If i'll disable bitmap scans, I get:
$ explain analyze select count(*) from objects where state='active' and ending_tsz <= (select now() - '1 day'::interval );

for comparison, normal plan, with enable_bitmapscan = true:
$ explain select count(*) from objects where state='active' and ending_tsz <= (select now() - '1 day'::interval );

Now. Interesting is, that if i'll change the query like Tom suggested, things go really bad:
$ set enable_bitmapscan = true;
SET
$ explain select count(*) from objects where state='active' and ending_tsz <= now() - '1 day'::interval;

$ set enable_bitmapscan = false;
