I did a "reindex database ws2;" and no change.
I'm not very good at reading the query plans. For one thing, they
always send me off on some tangent wondering why it's doing a Seq Scan
instead of a index scan. ;)
The first plan below returns the correct number of rows, the second plan does
not. These are after I did the reindex, btw.

This returns one row less and the only change to the view is this
commented out column:
-- class.full_message AS full_message, -- this
