I was just going to ask you to check that. Weird as can be.

Does plain old "SELECT COUNT(*)" show a difference between the two
tables?

Do you get similar misbehavior if you break the CREATE TABLE AS into a
CREATE and an INSERT/SELECT? Also, please note the rowcount returned
by INSERT/SELECT and see how it matches up with the tables afterwards.

Does turning synchronize_seqscans off affect the behavior?
