Hm. That might be caused by on-disk corruption...

Well, that will probably have used the the index, try it by doing
something like:
SET enable_indexscan = false;
SET enable_bitmapscan = false;
SET constraint_exclusion = false;
EXPLAIN SELECT ctid, * FROM lytartist WHERE nartistnr IS NULL;
SELECT ctid, * FROM lytartist WHERE nartistnr IS NULL;
The explain should show a sequential scan, right? Does it now return a row?
