That makes perfect sense. It is weird that it works using the CTE though.
Thanks again,

Most likely you've marked that function volatile (or allowed it to be so marked by default). That disables using it in an index condition, because the planner has to assume that the function's result might change for every row. You need to mark it stable or immutable instead, per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/xfunc-volatility.html
