    Given that the copy is causing the 'problem', the question to ask

I did not -- I expected the autovacuum daemon to do so. Why did it not?
The database was created & restored days ago, and the autovacuum daemon
is running with default settings.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/routine-vacuuming.html

"
The autovacuum daemon, if enabled, will automatically issue ANALYZE commands whenever the content of a table has changed sufficiently. However, administrators might prefer to rely on manually-scheduled ANALYZE operations, particularly if it is known that update activity on a table will not affect the statistics of "interesting" columns. The daemon schedules ANALYZE strictly as a function of the number of rows inserted or updated; it has no knowledge of whether that will lead to meaningful statistical changes.
"

So at a guess there has not been enough churn on the table.


Thanks.
