ANALYZE might be producing poor stats due to :

i) many dead tuples or
ii) high proportion of dead tuples in the first few pages of the table

Does a VACUUM FULL followed by ANALYZE change the estimates (or have you
tried this already)?

(p.s. - I probably don't qualify for the 'more knowledge' bit either...)
