The table currently contains just over 10000 elements. So 238 rows is a
small part of it.

Yes. That and reindex (in case of a problem).
I have also tried ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN SET STATISTICS, but without
improvement.

You mean ANALYZE VERBOSE ?
Since the table is still growing, and the amount of rows in the reply of
the query is quite uniform (it's not dependant on the size of the table), I
hope that the statistics will evolve in a state that will force the use of
the index.
