you are correct and we've gone down that road. i build my db with 8.0.1, and i've upgraded through to 8.0.5 as time went by and i never noticed an issue with it until i went to bump to 8.1 today.
i've tried with and without the hier patch and neither seems to work. i have a few options left to try but i might be reduced to stitching together COPYs and system tables from an older backup.

Would it be too far off to guess that you're running Gentoo? This looks
like ye olde problem with that hierarchical-queries patch that they push
on people. Either adding or removing the patch breaks your database :-(.
Since your rewrite rule looks standard, I'm guessing that you rebuilt
and added the patch at some point after initially building your database.
Reconfigure 8.0 the way you originally built it and you should be OK ...
unless you have views that you created after changing ...
