Oh dear. You were never on any earlier 9.3.x release? If not, then
there's still some unfixed bug in this area in 9.3.4.
There's been one post-9.3.4 fix in this same general area:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=c0bd128c8
but according to the commit message, at least, that bug would not have led
to the symptom you're seeing, namely rows disappearing from indexes while
they're still visible to seqscans.

A test case would definitely help.
