The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 8274
Logged by: Andrew Gierth
Email address: andrew(at)tao11(dot)riddles(dot)org(dot)uk
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.9
Operating system: any
Description:

The guy on IRC who ran into this one was using 9.1.9, but it seems to still
exist in master.

The handling of freq_null for estimating IS NOT TRUE/FALSE for boolean
columns which are all null or almost all null (enough that analyze doesn't
find any non-null values to put in MCV) is completely off in the weeds.

Suggested fix at:
