Which of these names are columns of the selected tables, and which ones
are plpgsql variables?
The planner has to fall back to default selectivity estimates when it's
looking at queries involving plpgsql variables (since it can't know
their actual values in advance). I suspect your problem is related to
an inaccurate default estimate.
