I think the patch in
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20130130145521.GB3355@awork2.anarazel.de
should get applied before the release if we decide it should be
backpatched. And I think backpatching makes sense, the amount of useless
full-table-scans will sure hurt more than some workload thats
accidentally fixed by this.
