You must use EXISTS if you work with big tables.
EXISTS use indexes, and IN use temporary tables.

-- this change nothing for IN :
CREATE INDEX import_id_index ON import(id);
CREATE INDEX import_ok_id_index ON import_ok(id);
-- slow :
-- DELETE FROM import WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM import_ok) ;
DELETE FROM import WHERE EXISTS (
  SELECT id FROM import_ok AS ok
WHERE ok.id = import.id
  );

I use a 7.3devel recently build (on a FreeBSD 4.3 box) from CVS sources.
I follow all your steps, and psql results :

test_db=> \! cat problem.sql
--create new temp tbl1
SELECT losteventid AS eventid INTO tbl1 FROM outages;
--create new temp tbl2
SELECT regainedeventid AS eventid INTO tbl2 FROM outages;

SELECT eventid FROM tbl1 WHERE eventid NOT IN (SELECT eventid FROM tbl2);

test_db=> \i problem.sql
SELECT
SELECT
 eventid
