Are you sure you've analyzed all these tables in the 8.2.4 database?
Some of the rowcount estimates seem a bit far off.
I looked through the CVS logs and didn't find any planner changes
between 8.2.3 and 8.2.4 that seem likely to affect your query, so
I'm thinking it must be a statistical discrepancy.
