Just wild guessing:  is there any chance that there may be some form of
"implicit" limit modifier for the select statements on this table?  Does
the
behaviour change if you add "limit 2" at the end of the query?  Does it
change if you use customer_app_config_id in (5929, 11527) instead?

Another wild guess:  if the data is somewhat corrupt, maybe a vacuum
analyze would detect it?  Or perhaps try pg_dumping, to see if pg_dump
at some point complains about mssing or corrupt data?

HTH,

Carlos
