BTW, there is a post-8.3.10 patch for a problem that could easily match
what you are showing. Dunno if you are up for applying patches
yourself, but if so try adding this one:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2010-04/msg00122.php
Now, the fact that that's fixing a problem introduced in January might
mean it's not what you're seeing. However, the January patch was fixing
a different issue in the same general area. It could be that your app
was managing to tickle both the old bug (in 8.3.7) and the new one (in
8.3.10).
