I find it odd that replacing the subquery with a temp table helps, though, because (unless you stuck in an ANALYZE you didn't mention) it would have no stats at all about the number of groups in the temp table.
I did have an analyze initially for exactly that reason. But what I found odd is that in my rush to execute this for the end of day reports, I forgot that step, and it still ran fine. I've found that the planner tends to treat un-analyzed tables somewhat pessimistically, which is fine by me.
