Interesting --- if the 8.1 database is a dump and restore of the 8.0,
you'd expect the physical ordering to be similar.  Why is 8.1 showing
a significantly lower correlation?  That has considerable impact on the
estimated cost of an indexscan (plain not bitmap), and so it might
explain why 8.1 is mistakenly avoiding the indexscan ...
