Thank you Tom,

Every tool is a work in progress. Knowing it's just a fact of life for now is really helpful, I appreciate the response.

I think you're running into a couple of issues here:

* ANALYZE fails to record any useful stats for a single-row table.
It can't form a histogram with only one entry, but it also fails to
put the value into the MCV list, because there's a heuristic that an
MCV must appear more than once.  Possibly we could think harder
about what to do with such cases, but at the moment the planner has
no knowledge that the only value in single_value_table is "1".

* Even if it did know that, the logic in scalararraysel() is quite
inadequate for the case of "variable = ANY(variable)".  It looks
like that's only been fleshed out for cases where one side or
the other is a constant.

Lot of unfinished work here :-(
