It looks to me like you've never vacuumed/analyzed the copy, and so you
get a different plan there. The fact that that plan is better than the
one made with statistics is unhappy making :-( ... but when you only
show us EXPLAIN output rather than EXPLAIN ANALYZE, it's impossible to
speculate about why. Also, what PG version is this?
