Sure.  I noticed for instance that your query had some outer joins that
were simplified to plain joins as a result of strict WHERE clauses above
them.  That's not incorrect.

Oh?  Hm, I wonder whether you are needing this fix:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=72a4231f0c80f213a4fa75356dc3c6b7c7419059
Although that bug exists in some form back to 7.4, 9.2 had a more
obvious form of the disease, which is what led to its diagnosis.
If you're not running 9.2.2, give that a try and see if it's better.

                        regards, tom lane
